Child Behaviour Practitioners, Andrea and Louise have worked professionally together for over 10 years within the Education setting and with experience working aside Children’s services. Andrea and Louise support children and families to overcome behavioural, social and Neurodiverstity challenges. They use evidence-based approaches to assess and address and range of behavioural concerns, including anxiety, aggression and social difficulties. They work collaboratively with parents, teachers and other professionals to create tailored strategies that promote positive change and emotional well-being. They are committed to helping children to reach their full potential. It was clear that this missing support has an extremely detrimental effect on a great number of children. This was ultimately the fuel behind the desire to make real change moving forward. Freedom & Growth create a team around the child that focuses on the child’s individual needs and goals whilst supporting the whole family.
