accessible skill development
Making social & emotional intelligence accessible for all brains in Western Adelaide.
Hi, I'm Courtney
My pedagogy is based upon providing a safe, play-based learning environment for children to develop social and emotional skills. I strongly believe that these learning areas are the upmost important components to teach children.
“My area of expertise is providing social and emotional support and education to autistic children and trauma related backgrounds.”
Our Program
Planned Experiences
In addition to the program we offer an opportunity for children to participate in real life social planned experiences. The objective is for staff to observe the child’s ongoing development, achievement or possible regression since implementing the program.
This allows professional reflection within the program and it’s success, which gives us a true and accurate insight on how the child is interacting socially and emotionally and leads to creating individualised goals for the child’s progress throughout the program.
The ASD program is designed to ensure the child receives the best possible opportunity to succeed and strive while also being able to observe real results in development through planned experiences. Our program is uniquely developed towards each child’s individual needs.
If you feel your child may need support in their social skills and/or emotional development, please contact us.
Social & Emotional Education
Through play-based fun learning experiences. My practices are based upon using a discrete intentional teaching method. This is great for reluctant learners as most of the learning is through play!
Communication & Relationships
We help children enhance their level of communication with their peers, providing strategies for positive interactions, developing relationships, and understanding appropriate behaviour and social cues.
Aromatherapy
We’re now slowly introducing aromatherapy into the business and program. Stay tuned for more info to come.

What Our Clients Say
Caty G
I would highly recommend Courtney! Courtney has continuously showed patience, kindness, and dedication to my sister whilst teaching her how to read. Courtney’s educational services are really professional, valued and highly looked upon by me. I can’t believe with how far my sister has come in her literacy skills, confidence and her resilience.
Rhiannon Torode
Courtney is like an angel. The sweetest most nurturing positive human you want on yours and your childrens side. The support she has given me and my son has been incredible. She made a seemingly horrendous task seem possible with encouragement and guidance every step of the way. She knows her stuff and is very passionate and dedicated to helping in every way she can. There needs to be more Courtney’s in this world helping our children with extra needs – she’s doing a job that was made for her.
Lisa S
Courtney is awesome, intuitive, caring and our daughter has already benefited in such a short space of time. Courtney takes her time and has worked out what we need and we are so excited to move forward with her, knowing that our daughter is in great care whilst learning!
Louisa S
Courtney has been working with my daughter for over a year now and I would highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond and actually really cares about her and her needs. She listens to what you want, works on your goals and is happy and open to change when something is not working.
Corrina F
We so blessed to have Courtney in our granddaughter’s life. She just gets her. It’s wonderful to find someone who’s job is their passion rather than just an income. The lessons and life skills that Courtney teaches are life altering and are helping to guide our granddaughter through the maze of her everyday life. She is so excited to see Courtney and spend time with her. We can’t recommend or thank her enough.
Anita M
Courtney has a beautiful, authentic nature and her passion comes through in what she does. Her play based, non-intentional learning approach has proven to be successful compared to other approaches I have tried for my children. Courtney truly is wonderful and deserves much credit for the work and commitment she displays. She has a genuine care for my family and I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Thank you Courtney – you are awesome!
