About Roisin
I’m Roisin Mcilduff, a behaviour specialist, educator and parent coach with over 25 years of experience supporting children and families across education, leadership and social care.
My background includes education, leadership, and social care, from mainstream schools to high-needs settings, safe houses, and temporary accommodation settings for families.
I’ve supported children with trauma histories, emotional dysregulation, neurodivergence (including autism and ADHD), and those excluded from both school and community. I’ve also worked closely with parents, educators, and allied health professionals to create consistent, coordinated support around the child.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve worked in both education and social care long enough to see a pattern: families are often left carrying the heaviest load with the least support. Parents are told their child is “too hard,” schools feel stretched, and children get caught in the middle, labelled before they’ve even had a chance.
I started Behaviour for Learning because I believe families deserve better than quick fixes or endless appointments that don’t create lasting change. I’ve seen what happens when a parent feels blamed, isolated, or powerless and I’ve seen the opposite too: what’s possible when a parent feels clear, confident, and connected with their child.
This isn’t about theory that stays in a classroom or strategies that only work for professionals. It’s about empowering you; the person who knows your child best with tools you can use in real life, at home, in the moments that matter most.
I do this work because I know families can thrive. With the right support, I’ve seen children go from daily battles to breakthrough moments and parents rediscover space to breathe and an unbreakable bond with their child..
Qualifications include:
Masters of Education: Wellbeing & Positive Mental Health
Graduate Diploma in Education
Bachelor of Social Science: Psychology & Cultural Studies
Diploma in Arts: Australian Studies
I also bring something just as important: lived understanding.
I’m a parent myself, and I know what it’s like when things feel overwhelming or nothing seems to work.
Even with all the tools and training, parenting is still messy, emotional, and deeply personal. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do know how to walk beside you with care, clarity, and a plan that makes sense for your real life.
