Thuriya Al-Mishhadani

As a specialized instructor therapist and student counselor, I have a proven track record in providing individualized support to children and individuals with special needs, helping them achieve their personal and academic goals. With expertise in ADHD, Autism, and ODD, I offer targeted one-on-one tutoring, employ function-based analysis and treatment strategies, and develop specialized programming tailored to each client’s unique needs and specifications. In my role as a student counselor, I extend my services to include emotional and academic guidance, personalized counseling, crisis intervention, and the development of preventive programs. I work collaboratively with teachers, parents, and other professionals, advocating for the needs of my students and providing essential support in their educational and emotional development. This comprehensive approach ensures a holistic support system for each individual, catering to their complete well-being.

In addition to my experience as a Behavioral Instructor Therapist and Behavioral Analyst, I am fluent in English and Arabic and have limited working proficiency in Sign Language and Turkish. My passion for promoting inclusion, mental well-being, and independence is reflected in my work as a student volunteer, peer educator, and event organizer, where I have coordinated events, led goal-setting initiatives, provided mental well-being support, and created and implemented programs resulting in increased well-being.
