Fernanda Maldonado

Behaviour Support Practitioner

My formal qualifications include a Bachelor of Speech Pathology with specialisation in Neuropsychology and Neuropsychiatry of Adults and a Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis. 

My areas of interest are language, cognitive stimulation and positive behaviour support for people with disabilities.  

I am passionate about merging my knowledge, skills and experience into contributing and supporting the process of reaching independence for those who require it.  

A fun fact about me is that I am a water sport and outdoor enthusiast. This is essential to keep my life balanced and a good mood!
