Why work with Aniko? ?
Professional Journey
Shortly after completing her university studies, Aniko began working with autistic individuals and people with intellectual disabilities. This experience quickly emerged as her natural career path, driven by a lasting passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals. Her professional journey has also led her to develop extensive expertise in working with First Nations communities.
Preferred
Approach
Drawing on her extensive hands-on experience, Aniko developed her own approach: Inclusive Conscious Education, a strengths-based model informed by the latest advances in neuroscience.
The term “conscious” emphasizes the recognition and understanding of the neurological differences inherent to neurodivergent profiles. “Inclusive,” on the other hand, highlights the importance of adapting environments and systems to create the conditions that allow each person to thrive and reach their full potential.
Sharing
Knowledge
For over 20 years, Aniko has shared her expertise through presentations and conferences in Quebec and internationally. She offers a variety of training programs designed to inform, support, and inspire educators, professionals, and parents on topics related to neurodivergence and inclusive education.
Her dynamic, accessible, and often humorous style makes complex concepts easy to understand and apply in practice.
