Throughout her years in the field, Micaela has spent countless hours working in partnership with educators and schools to implement school-wide behaviour change programs as well as individualised support plans.

Micaela also spent many years delivering the Reading Tutor Program to individual clients in private practice. Today, Micaela joins MultiLit with a passion for training others in the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis and upskilling educators in function-based approaches to create positive and meaningful behaviour change with their students.
