Faten Matar
Senior Instructor Therapist
M.ADS
Faten supports children with Autism and other developmental needs in home and community settings. She holds a Master of Applied Disability Studies, with a focus on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), from Brock University. She practises under the supervision of Najla Yousef, R.B.A. (Ont.).
Faten works closely with families and instructor therapists to support individualized programs that build communication, learning and everyday independence. Her approach begins with understanding each child’s strengths, interests and ways of communicating, alongside their family’s priorities.
Faten values supportive, collaborative relationships and welcomes caregivers’ perspectives when reviewing progress and planning next steps. Her approach combines evidence-informed teaching with respect for each child’s preferences, boundaries and comfort. She helps children practise skills they can use beyond sessions, with support adjusted to their needs and pace.
