Facilitator(s): Michele Shilvock

Michele Shilvock holds a Master's Degree in special education and is a board-certified Behaviour Analyst. She has been working with children and coaching their parents/caregivers for over 20 years with a focus on building a greater understanding for the complexities of behaviour in children. Her practice is rooted in science and includes principals in ACT (acceptance commitment training) and the importance of building strategies centered in the values of not just the adults in a child’s life, but the child themselves. Michele recognizes the tremendous value of children growing, learning and regulating in natural settings and in play, at a pace reflective of who and where they are developmentally. Michele notes that children learn best when they are understood and are heard, and this means supporting them to reach optimal states of engagement and calm in their day.
