Our approach is a key part of Thandizani:

• We use person-led, step-by-step exposure and skill building strategies that respects each child’s pace and comfort. 
• The strategies we employ are backed by evidence-based research and are rooted in neuro-affirming and trauma-informed practices. 
• Our goal is that your child can confidently attend appointments without restraint, sedation, trauma or tears, now and into the future.
• In the moments between practicing the skills needed for your child’s appointments, we are building capacity in other ways through play! We teach emotional regulation, communication, self-help, leisure and play skills during our down time. 
• Drawing on years of knowledge and experience in the healthcare field, early intervention, and behaviour analysis, our Director, Caitlin, has developed specific and effective processes to make the most out of your child’s session time and as many skills as possible.
