Hi, I’m Janine! I’m a psychomotor therapist and the Inclusion Services Lead at Linden Global Learning & Support. I moved to Berlin after five years in Dubai. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychomotor Therapy from Saint Joseph University and have nine years of professional experience in multidisciplinary clinical settings and international schools in Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. Working in the UAE’s highly international environment has given me the opportunity to collaborate with families and professionals from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

I have supported children from early childhood through adolescence with a range of developmental, motor, sensory, cognitive, and social-emotional needs, including Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

‍

‍

My work has included conducting assessments using standardized tools, providing individualized interventions, and collaborating with parents, teachers, shadow teachers, and inclusion teams to promote each child’s development and participation. My experience also includes clinical coordination, quality assurance, and clinical governance.

I have also worked with schools to deliver training sessions and workshops for parents and teachers, and to contribute to the development and review of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). I believe that recognizing each child’s strengths and needs, and building strong partnerships among the people around them, are essential to creating inclusive environments where every learner can participate and thrive.
