We have had the pleasure of having Sonja present professional development workshops for our staff and seminars for our parents on several occasions over the past six years. She is a consummate professional who is passionate about the work she does. She provides client families and other professionals in the field with support and relevant practical information and strategies, always couched in professional terms and with sensitivity.
Sonja has a natural talent for hearing what people are saying and responding to them with compassion. As a mother who has faced many issues herself, she is empathetic with other families’ situations and can offer insightful support and suggestions very capably.
Sonja shows genuine care about helping others and goes out of her way to respond quickly and efficiently to whatever is asked of her. She shows concern and real interest in others, especially where either emotional or practical help is needed, and cares strongly about the outcomes. She always follows through with actions and continue to offer support as needed.
