Meet Tash

Hi I'm Tash, Director of Little Wooden Toybox, designer of the Letter Basics resources (our own brand), single mum of two teens with Autism, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and we've recently added PDA (Extreme Demand Avoidance) to the list - fun times!

My background is in teaching (B.Ed K-7) as well as additional needs, and this combined with over 10 years of early intervention has given me a unique insight into

- Understanding difficult behaviours and why they occur

- Understanding how emotional regulation and sensory input impacts both us as parents and our little ones (diagnosed or not)

- Developing, implementing and managing resources & coping strategies to make home life calmer & more organised

All of these concepts and resources can be applied in the classroom, home and/or therapy; equipping parents, teachers, early childhood educators and therapists with tools and strategies to confidently manage difficult behaviours.

It's also important to note that these strategies also work for neurotypical children and children struggling with anxiety, helping to keep you and them calm and happy, and ready to learn and play!
