What families and professionals say
These are not stories about easier behaviour. They are stories about understanding — and what becomes possible when families finally have it.
Every family who comes to Behaviour for Learning arrives having already tried. What changes is not the effort — it's the understanding. The following words are from parents and professionals who have experienced that shift firsthand.
Parent Testimonials
From families
Oppositional behaviour, no school support, navigating an ASD/ADHD diagnosis alone.
"I needed someone with deep experience with children who are not neurotypical. Roisin was able to provide information to help me advocate for the additional support my son required at school. Working with Roisin has provided us with improved educational outcomes for our child, and a calmer home life for the whole family. My child has now navigated high school and moved into an apprenticeship pathway. At home, we have much improved communication and have grown closer as a family. Roisin was a key support and agent of change for us. As a parent, I found an ally who did not judge."
Janine — parent of teenager with ASD and ADHD
Aggression, lack of structure, and a family looking for a whole-of-household approach.
"Working with Roisin created more of an understanding, balance and harmony in the household. We formed a deeper connection — my son saw I was on his side. We are a team. It made a huge difference him being able to see that we are in this together."
Sophia — parent of two neurodivergent children
A family in crisis — financial, emotional, physical — navigating the aftermath of Covid lockdowns.
"The difficulty our family faced was impossible to hide. We were worn down, emotionally exhausted and drained. Having a calm, understanding presence who also shared valuable advice was extremely helpful in helping us navigate through the trauma we experienced. You provided a safe space to cry, laugh, complain — but most importantly, to heal. We utilised the coping strategies you implemented and found them to be profoundly useful. We are eternally grateful for your support."
Parent of two tweens

From professionals and educators
The following statements come from teachers, school staff and education professionals who have worked alongside Roisin directly.
A school leader describing what to expect when working with Roisin.
"When working with Roisin, expect a calm, respectful, and solutions-focused approach. She listens deeply, builds strong partnerships, and brings clarity and confidence to challenging situations. Her support is practical, non-judgemental, and grounded in best practice."
Louise G — School Leader (Conditions for Learning)
An Inclusive Educator (consultant) describing experiences working with Roisin.
"Roisin works tirelessly to determine calculated and research-aligned approaches to support — to transform students' understanding of themselves and the challenges that standard educational settings can present. She understands that teachers, parents, school leaders and peers all have an impact on young people, and she uses this knowledge to develop individualised and targeted responses to enable every child the opportunity to experience success."
Kelly Goodwin — Inclusive Educator
SSO describes experience working with a student with highly complex behaviours
"Roisin has a way of reading and understanding students' behaviour from a different perspective. She is always looking for the bigger picture — seeking an understanding as to why they might be behaving a certain way. I've watched her allow children with the biggest walls to finally open up to someone."
Lou — Student Support Officer
Support & expertise
"Roisin is able to consider the needs of the individual and draw from her expertise to create a supportive plan that helps the student develop towards their next step. She communicates this with teachers and support staff to ensure everyone understands the student and their needs — and knows how best to support them."
Lead Teacher — Primary School
Positive relationships & safe space
"Roisin has the ability to maintain positive relationships even within a complex, high-pressure environment. There's no situation she can't handle — always a safe space, always using trauma-informed practices."
Megan — Student Support Officer, Primary School
