Ratonga | Services
I offer an array of support services to help support and advise individuals, parents, families, caregivers, support workers and educators living with, or supporting someone with Selective Mutism.
I can help with transitioning between classrooms and schools with advice about Selective Mutism, and through facilitating support when creating an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and/or One Plan with the whanau and school.
You can book me to give a presentation for professional learning development (PLD) for individuals or groups.

I offer the Integrated Listening Systems Focus Program (iLS) in my therapy space on my farm. The iLS is an exercise program that uses a multi-sensory approach for improving brain and body function. The iLS combines elements of iLS music, movement and language to help with body and brain organisation helping with an array of difficulties, click on the iLS image below to find out more.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
The Safe and Sound Protocol has been created by Dr Stephen Porges. It is a non-invasive therapeutic tool which works to calm the nervous system and stimulate the vagus nerve. The SSP is an evidence based tool and it helps to re-shape the neural pathways through stimulating the vagus nerve so the nervous system can move to safety. It uses an inside out, bottom up approach to healing. It particularly helps people who shift into and get stuck in parasympathetic - "the freeze response."
The SSP is suitable for all ages, from children to adults. The SSP has shown to help individuals with trauma, anxiety and sensory processing differences and much more

As an SSP and iLS focus practitioner and educator of Selective Mutism,

I will explain how you can help someone with Selective Mutism, through a whole holistic approach as well as through working on the environment and with schools. I will also help you create a plan of approach to help your child, teen or yourself with Selective Mutism.

Supporting Whanau and Tamariki with Integrated Education Plan (IEP) and/or a One Plan.
Do you have a child, or teen or young adult who is struggling with Selective Mutism at school or college ? Or perhaps you are a young student and you struggle to give class presentations and to socially engage in college / tertiary institutions ?
Do you feel like the teachers are not listening to your needs or your child/teens needs?
Would you like to get some more help from school, and / or other agencies who are involved in your child/ teens care?
Sometimes we need someone outside the whanau and qualified in their field to help us reach the support systems and educators in our / learners life.
I help whanau and learners to understand what an IEP and One Plan is and how to request one from the school or place of learning.
I can also help facilitate the conversation during an IEP or One plan at school. Through sharing my knowledge on Selective Mutism an IEP or/and One Plan can be created with the leaner and their needs in mind, ensuring goals and plans are realistic and tailored for Selective Mutism.
