Dani Mccann
I am currently completing a psychology internship with Dr Christine Salisbury, but prior to this I was employed as a School Counsellor with the NSW Department of Education for ten years. Before that, I was both a general education teacher, and a special education teacher. Since first graduating university in 2001, I have worked with children and young people from Early Intervention (three years old) up to HSC and Senior School (eighteen years +). Working with students has always involved working with parents and sometimes the families.
I’ve taught in both Queensland and New South Wales, in both private and public schools, and across a range of settings, including classes for Deaf students and those with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have completed additional training in Youth Mental Health First Aid, and Auslan.
I am passionate about working with children, young people and their families to provide therapeutic interventions which promote mental health and wellbeing, and which foster resilience, confidence and happiness. I enjoy working as part of the Kidsinc team where we encourage collaboration and cooperation to ensure we facilitate a holistic service provision.
The assessments I complete with clients provide detailed information about behaviour, personality, learning and/or skill development. Results and recommendations from assessments are communicated in reports which identify areas of strength, as well as areas which would benefit from therapeutic or remedial intervention, and include a list of suggested support activities.
