VICTORIA PENA

Victoria has over five years of experience supporting children and youth with Autism and their families in both home and centre based settings. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology as well as a Graduate Certificate in Autism and Behavioural Science.  Her professional background also includes working with children in community-based programs, including school breakfast initiatives and camp counselling. Through her work in both one-to-one and group environments, she has supported children in developing total communication, academic, emotional regulation, daily living, and social skills.

Passionate about helping children reach their full potential, Victoria is committed to creating supportive, inclusive environments where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to succeed. She takes a child-centred approach to her work, recognizing the importance of tailoring her support to each child’s unique strengths, interests, developmental stage and sensory needs.

Victoria believes that meaningful learning happens through positive relationships and engaging experiences. She incorporates fun, interactive activities into her practice to foster skill development while building confidence, self-advocacy, and independence. Her goal is to create an environment where children feel respected, encouraged, and celebrated for who they are.

Outside of her professional role, Victoria enjoys reading, spending time with her three cats, and staying active through spin classes.
