"I really do have a passion for training others because I see it as the best way to have maximum impact - The more people I can train, the more children I can help. I get really moved watching some of the staff here work with the kids because they are really hardworking and they are so talented. Some of them work in these seamless ways, and it is not obvious how much technique is actually involved but a lot of thought has actually really gone into how they plan their sessions. They can turn the science of what we do into a form of art. And I would love to cultivate more of that culture here at AP." - Ms. Reshani Satharasinghe (MSc ABA, BCBA), Behavior Consultant at AP.
Reshani is currently a Behavior Consultant at AP Singapore and regularly conducts a series of training workshops, lectures and school consultations to both professionals and members of the public.
