My Story, Your Guide

Amy Burton (BPsycHons) 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 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.

Support to

choose and customize behavior solutions

Why do so many people treat parents like we have the skill level of newborn lambs wearing roller skates?

The truth is: Professionals are trained to generalize for efficiency.

Parents are usually quicker to recognize individual quirks that make a truly positive difference. Your insight is invaluable so let's use it!

Discover New Options

Discover lots of new strategies that are much more effective at transforming children's behavior (and with far less risk of side effects) than fashionable tactics like 'time in'.

Every new method you learn will become a new tool in your parenting toolkit.

The underlying skills we use to resolve toddler behavior are the same ones we use later to steer safe and respectful teenaged behavior.
