Hello, my name is Neha. I am a dedicated and compassionate behavior analyst with over five years of experience helping children and adolescents with autism and other neurological and developmental challenges thrive. My journey as a behavior analyst is driven by my profound desire to make a positive impact in the lives of those I work with. Based in Dubai, I hold both a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with Counseling and a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology.
I have, and will continue to, dedicate my career to helping others achieve meaningful progress, both behaviorally and socially. I look forward to continuing my journey, striving to make a positive impact in the lives of every child, adolescent, and parent, while empowering you to support your loved one in leading a fulfilling and independent life.
(Age group: between 1 to 15 years of age )
For Children & Adolescents:
I provide a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children of all ages and adolescents with neurological and developmental disabilities. I use direct observations, comprehensive assessments, and trauma-informed approaches to be able to determine your child’s needs and teach skills across multiple important domains, including but not limited to feeding, sleeping, self-care, leisure, academics, social skills, language and communication, aggression, and aggressive behaviors. Individualized plans are developed, and each skill is thoroughly broken down into smaller, teachable steps with your child’s developmental level and skill repertoire in consideration. Specific strategies are individualized according to your child’s particular needs.
Therapeutic Approaches:
My therapy approaches are based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) with evidence-based interventions designed for specific needs. I use a trauma-informed approach with all my clients to ensure the therapy process is a positive experience in which clients feel safe and happy at all times.
Invitation to Therapy:
If you are a parent or caregiver looking for individualized therapy to help your loved one achieve meaningful progress and improve their quality of life, I would love to connect with you. Together, we can create a path to success and well-being and further discuss how I can support your family on this journey.
