Katie is the Site Manager of the Entry to School program in Kanata. She began her career working as a Behaviour Therapist providing 1:1 ABA therapy. She has also worked as an Educational Assistant with the OCDSB in a special education school where she found her passion in working in a group setting, supporting the needs of different students, and working closely with other professionals.

She has worked at ACT Learning Centre since 2021, where she began as Lead Classroom Facilitator with the very first cohort of Entry to School and is proud to see the program continue to grow and reach more families. Katie’s dream is to open a forest school for autistic children and adults, but for now, she is invested in the success of every child who enters her classrooms!

“Being a part of the first cohort of the Entry to School program was an opportunity I could not pass up. Working in a multi-disciplinary setting sounded like a great chance for growing my professional skills. This program is unique as it allows me to combine my passion for behaviour intervention while in a more natural setting.”
