My Story, Your Guide

Amy Burton, BPsych (Hons)

Pediatric Behavior Specialist

For many years I was a Social Worker (and had other similar roles) in state schools, the foster care system and early intervention programs. I loved helping transform the behavior and lives of children and families at the extreme end of the behavior spectrum. But today my heart belongs to the forgotten majority of families who aren't supported by the system.

Professional Experience

I've worked with hundreds of families from dozens of cultural backgrounds - plus helped numerous teachers and allied health professionals - to manage children's challenging behaviors even when extreme and entrenched.

Personal Experience

I've fostered 20 children towards reunification in two states and am a proud solo parent to my own 5 children. After having an only child for nearly nine years then birthing 2 sets of boy/girl twins in two years, I've personally experienced a wide variety of family sizes, age gaps, and developmental challenges.
