Tracy Whittaker-Taggart, M.A., is a Psychologist, educator, mentor, and champion of changing the way we think about kids. She is also a wife, daughter, pet mom, and never far from the ocean. For more than 25 years she has built a career at the intersection of Psychology, education, and practice. Tracy has worked in the public school system for her entire career, while also balancing private practice work, teaching graduate education courses for both teachers and psychologists and giving back to the profession through her work on the provincial regulatory board and supervising students and early career psychologists. Tracy believes that lasting change doesn’t begin with a new strategy, it begins with a new understanding. She believes that curiosity about behavior comes before the intervention. When we change the way we think about behavior, we naturally make different decisions about how we intervene .
Tracy will bring together psychology, brain based understanding and educational practice to help anyone working with dysregulated children and youth to simply ask better questions, to drive better interventions. When you attend one of Tracy’s workshops, expect to challenge your thinking, walk away with strategies to use tomorrow, and have a little fun along the way.
