Partners & talks
Collaboration, speaking, and the places this work has traveled
Most of what I do reaches people through someone else — a clinic that invites me in, a school that runs the training, a podcast that puts the argument in front of an audience I would never reach alone.
What I am open to
Speaking & podcasts
Conferences, professional bodies, and podcasts — in English, Cantonese or Mandarin. I am particularly interested in audiences who are skeptical of ABA, because that is where the conversation is worth having.
Clinical partnerships
Ongoing consultation for clinics and agencies building integrated SLP–ABA practice, rather than a one-off workshop that fades by the following term.
Training programs
Designing and delivering professional development for schools, early intervention agencies, and teams working across both disciplines.
Research & dissemination
Collaborative classroom models, translation of practice into Chinese-speaking contexts, and getting findings to the practitioners who need them.
