Antonio Soon
I am a PBS practitioner with a psychology background. I graduated from UWA in 2020 with a First Class Honours in Psychology. My previous experience includes working as a rehabilitation consultant and a provisional psychologist. I like to work with clients at different age groups (children, adolescents, young adults, elderlies). I also have experience working with clients with different disabilities (e.g., autism, intellectual disability, acquired brain injury, ADHD). I am dedicated to helping clients improve their quality of life. Through assessment and observation, I assess the needs of my clients and the system, then I develop a plan for staff members to better support my clients by using evidence-based interventions. I always believe that there is a function behind all behaviours, and we can better support our clients by understanding those functions. During my free time, I enjoy reading and playing board games.
Maria Ramirez
"My name is Maria, I am from Colombia, and I have lived in Australia for 13 years. I have a psychology education background which explains my passion to support people and their challenges. I look for different ways to engage with my clients such as meal preparation and cooking. This is a great strategy to break down the barriers and build rapport. I love to travel and get to know new places and to spend quality time with my family! And of course my love for coffee is ...very Colombian!
