Who am I?

 Hello!

My name is Camila Valença, and I would like to start by presenting myself:

I have been a pedagogue who has worked as a language teacher for over 10 years. Throughout my journey, I have encountered many children with learning difficulties. After studying language acquisition for students with ADHD, I became increasingly curious about understanding neurodiversity and how to assist my students. 

One year ago, after discovering I was an atypical mother myself, I embraced this journey of learning and understanding autism and child development. 

My areas of study have included ABA science and naturalistic strategies, PRT, early intervention, intelligent parenting, Montessori pedagogy, and sensory processing.

I am here to share what I have learned so far and provide parents, teachers, and caregivers with information that may aid them on their journeys. 

Come along and join me on this journey!

It would be amazing if it were that easy, but no.  He refused, cried, was frustrated, and brought us along the same path, because all we wanted was for him to be ok and to not feel pain. I had shown him pictures, made a social story in his Grid communication app, but it was not enou...
