The Simplique® Approach

Assess

Understand the person’s history, strengths, challenges and goals.

Look Deeper

Explore relevant behavioural, environmental, developmental and neurological information.

Individualise

Develop support based on the individual – not simply their diagnosis.

Support & Train

Implement appropriate behavioural, developmental or neurofeedback strategies.

Measure & Review

Monitor progress and adjust the approach according to the person’s response.

Who We Help

We work with children, adolescents and adults, including neurodivergent individuals and people experiencing challenges involving:

Every person’s presentation is different.

We therefore focus on the individual’s functional needs and goals, rather than assuming everyone with the same diagnosis requires the same program.

Meet Ana

Director of Simplique®

Hi, I’m Ana, founder of Simplique® with a strong professional and personal interest in brain development, behaviour, neuroscience and neurodiversity.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science and a qualified Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, with a professional foundation spanning psychology, behaviour, child development and early childhood education and care. My experience working with children and families has shaped my understanding of the important relationship between development, behaviour, communication, learning and the environment. Over time, this developed into a deeper professional interest in neurodevelopment, neuroscience and understanding the factors that influence how a person learns, regulates, communicates and engages with the world around them. I have completed Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Technician course as a part of my professional development.

I am a QEEG-D Candidate with the International QEEG Certification Board (IQCB). 

I have undertaken specialised training in EEG, quantitative EEG (QEEG) and clinical neurofeedback under Dr Mary L. Tracy in the United States, an internationally experienced educator and mentor in EEG and neurotherapy, alongside further professional training through the Australian Neurofeedback Institute (ANFI).

Dr Tracy brings decades of experience in EEG and neurofeedback, with a professional background spanning classical EEG technology, research, university and Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital neurology settings. She is a BCIA and IQEEGCB instructor and certified mentor, training and mentoring professionals internationally in EEG, QEEG and neurofeedback.

I have further trained under Dr Tiff Thompson, PhD, QEEG-D, BCN, R.EEG.T, clinical neuroscientist, founder of NeuroField Neurotherapy and co-founder of the School of Neurotherapy; as well as Dr Nicholas J. Dogris, PhD, BCN, QEEG-D, neuroscientist, licensed psychologist, co-founder of the School of Neurotherapy and creator and founder of NeuroField. Together, their work and training span advanced EEG/QEEG, neurofeedback, electrophysiology, brain mapping, neuroplasticity and neuromodulation approaches.

This training forms an important part of my continuing professional development in understanding brain activity, EEG recording and analysis, QEEG brain mapping and individualised clinical neurofeedback protocols. I aspire to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience in the future, driven by my fascination with the human brain and its remarkable complexity.

My work today brings together my foundations in psychology, childhood development and positive behaviour support, alongside my continuing postgraduate studies in autism and neurodivergence and specialised training in neuroscience and neurodevelopment.

This multidisciplinary journey has shaped the philosophy behind Simplique® to look beyond the presenting behaviour, understand the whole person, and provide individualised support that is meaningful to them and their family.

More Than Academic Interest

This Journey Is Personal Too

My professional interests are deeply connected to my lived experience.

I am a parent and carer who has personally navigated complex developmental, disability and communication needs within my own family.

I know what it means to sit on the other side of the consultation table.

I know what it is like to attend appointments carrying a folder of reports.

To explain your child’s history again.

To complete another assessment.

To advocate for a child who cannot always communicate their own needs.

To hear professional opinions that do not always agree.

To go home with recommendations and then discover that implementing them in everyday family life is far more complicated than it sounded during the appointment.

And I understand the drive to keep asking questions when something still doesn’t make sense.

The Questions That Changed My Direction

My lived experience made me want to understand more.

Not just:

“What diagnosis does this fit?”

but:

“Why is this happening?”

Not just:

“How do we stop this behaviour?”

but:

“What is this person trying to communicate?”

Not just:

“What can’t this child do?”

but:

“What underlying skills does this task require?”

And not simply:

“Which therapy is normally recommended?”

but:

“What does this individual actually need?”

Those questions ultimately connected the different areas I now study and practise:

Psychology.

Behaviour.

Neuroscience.

Neurodevelopment.

Autism and neurodiversity.

EEG and QEEG.

Neurotherapy.

Why Lived Experience Matters in My Practice

Professional Knowledge + Human Understanding

Lived experience does not replace professional qualifications.

Professional qualifications do not replace lived experience either.

They provide different kinds of understanding.

A clinical report may describe a behaviour in several sentences.

A family may live with that behaviour every morning, every night, during school drop-off, at appointments, in the supermarket and throughout the weekend.

That reality matters.

It influences whether recommendations are practical, sustainable and meaningful.

My experience has taught me to ask:

Does this make sense for this individual?

Can this realistically work for this family?

What is the person’s behaviour communicating?

Are sensory, communication or developmental needs being overlooked?

Are we supporting meaningful function or simply trying to make someone appear more compliant?

What does progress actually mean to this person and their family?

These are questions I carry into my professional work.

That combination of professional knowledge, continuing education and lived experience is at the heart of Simplique®.

Build on strengths.

Individualise support.

Measure meaningful progress.

Because no two people – and no two brains – are exactly the same.
