More about me
Monika Sternau, M.Sc., BCBA
Psychologist (PL) | Autism & ADHD | Early Intervention
I am a psychologist and BCBA specialising in early intervention and therapeutic support for children with autism, ADHD and developmental differences.
My approach is family-centred, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming. I focus on each child’s individual strengths, interests, motivation and needs, and I use Positive ABA alongside developmental and naturalistic approaches such as PRT, DIR/Floortime and ESDM.
A central part of my work is supporting and empowering parents. I provide psychoeducation, parent coaching and practical strategies that can be naturally integrated into everyday family life. I also collaborate with preschools and schools to create a consistent and supportive environment around the child.
I value warm, respectful relationships and close collaboration with families and other professionals, with the goal of supporting meaningful skills, participation and quality of life.
