About Lucy

Developmental Tutoring was founded by Lucy Ketjen, a Behavioural and Developmental Practitioner who holds a Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies from Griffith University. Lucy is also a Qualified Behaviour Technician through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), has extensive training in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) including Levels 1, 2 and 3, and is a qualified Special Needs Education Assistant.

Since beginning her career in early intervention in 2005, Lucy has worked alongside Developmental and Educational Psychologists, supporting children across homes, childcare centres and schools. With over 20 years of experience working with children of all abilities and learning needs, she combines evidence-based knowledge with practical, individualised strategies that help children build confidence, develop skills and achieve meaningful progress.

Lucy has developed her own methods, teaching resources and support strategies to complement each child's unique learning journey. She believes every child has strengths that can be nurtured and that with the right support, encouragement and understanding, children can reach their full potential.
