I specialise in implementation.
I take what your child's doctors, therapists and school already recommend, and build it into your family's actual routine at home, so you and your partner aren't the ones left to figure out how.
I’m Vilma Swahn, a behavioural specialist based in Paris who works closely with families in their homes to turn everyday struggles into calmer, more manageable routines.
As a behavioural specialist, I provide intensive, weekly in-home sessions designed to navigate the specific challenges your child and family encounter, using a gentle and methodical approach. By coaching you and your local caregivers, I ensure these effective strategies are sustained long after I have left the room.
Typically, our collaboration lasts a few months, sufficient for you to feel fully empowered to move forward independently. I am accustomed to working discreetly with household teams to maintain your privacy. Furthermore, I assist families in matching with and training day-to-day carers and teaching aids, providing ongoing coordination to ensure a unified approach to your child’s development.
I bring my training, my experience, and a lot of curiosity to find what actually works for your family. I work with children across the full range of communication, and I keep a network of other professionals I refer to and receive referrals from.
I work in English and Swedish mainly, with basic French, enough for working with younger children and children with limited verbal language.
I take the recommendations you hear from all these different offices and work with you to find how they can actually fit your home and your child, adjusting the approach along the way. That is what I bring.
Most importantly, my whole heart is with these children. It's about making their home feel more aligned, and helping them grow and progress to their fullest capacity with the right support.
