In my role as a nature-based facilitator, I have had the privilege of providing therapeutic interventions, skills, and activities for children diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, and other conditions. By incorporating nature into therapy sessions, I have created a nurturing and engaging environment that promotes holistic growth and development in these individuals.
