How can we help your child?

Are you concerned if your child struggles with relating to others, behaving well, or learning in school?

Does your child struggle with behaving properly or controlling their emotions?

Does your child have difficulties speaking in certain situations or adapting well to different cultures?

Are you curious about how smart your child is or how they manage to learn new things?

We in the educational psychological corner can help you with guidance, counselling and treatment after thorough mapping of cognitive functioning, language and communication, socio-emotional development, neuromotor status and sensory functions and integration.

All measures are assessed from a plenary perspective.

Bojana Prastalo Dimitrov

Master’s in spesial education with specialization in developmental psychology

I have extensive experience in helping children and young people with, among other things neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, autism, Tourettes syndrom), behavioural problems and difficulties with cultural adaptation. I have also worked with children with anxiety, emotional and relational difficulties. In our educational psychology corner, we also offer guidance services for parents without children present to get guidance on how to be good caregivers, and get help with family problems and setting boundaries, among other things.

After 5-year university education in special education and rehabilitation at the University of Belgrade (Serbia), I took master’s degree in spesial education with specialization in developmental psychology. I am currently specializing in educational – psychological counselling. I have also taken further education in the INPP method in England. The INPP is a method developed at The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology in Chester and is used to assess neuromotor maturity using a series of tests for balance, gross and fine motor skills, cerebellar function, presence of primitive and postural reflexes, oculomotor function and visual perception.

I am currently studying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for children and adolescents at R-BUP in Oslo, and concurrently engaging in therapeutic practice. I can offer advice and guidance in Norwegian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and English.
