Expert in Neurodivergence - Focus on Autism & ADHD

I am a graduate social educator, educator & Marte Meo practitioner with over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families and professionals. For 15 years I have been working intensively on the topics of autism, ADHD and neurodivergence. Today I work independently and combine my expertise with a systemic and solution-oriented view. 

My experience in neurodivergence:

  • Courses for parents of around 500 neurodivergent children and adolescents

  • Training and in-house training for over 300 pedagogical specialists

  • Lectures for more than 200 teachers

  • Publication of four books (two more will be published in 2027)

For many years I have also been giving lectures and workshops for different target groups and working for various autism associations and educational institutions. I speak on technical days and am a lecturer for inclusion with a focus on neurodivergence at the University of Education Freiburg. As a consultant, I support neurodivergent adolescents, adults and parents individually and practically.

My priorities

  • Autism spectrum disorder 

  • ADHD 

  • Neurodivergence 

  • Inclusion

  • Challenge behaviour

  • TEACCH

  • Marte Meo 

  • Social Stories & Comic Strip Conversations
