Cheryl Yeo

Cheryl is an experienced Senior Educational Therapist with more than 20 years of experience working with young children. She supports neurodivergent learners, including those with dyslexia, autism and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), in developing literacy, academic, social-emotional and behavioural skills while preserving their curiosity and enjoyment of learning.

Since 2022, Cheryl has worked as an Educational Therapist and Support Specialist within a psychology practice, providing individualised intervention for children aged four and above. She draws on structured literacy methods, including the Orton-Gillingham and Essential Literacy approaches, together with multisensory teaching, individualised planning and mindfulness-based strategies.

Previously, as a Senior Educational Therapist in preschool and early intervention at the Dyslexia Association of Singapore, Cheryl supported young learners with literacy and specific learning differences, contributed to curriculum development, and conducted parent and professional workshops. Her earlier career included 11 years as a Montessori educator across six countries, where she taught children, trained educators, developed curricula and helped establish a toddler school in Budapest.

Cheryl holds a Master of Arts in Inclusive Education, specialising in Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties in Early Childhood, and an International Diploma in Montessori. Her training in autism intervention and mindfulness further informs her holistic approach to helping children strengthen essential skills, develop greater self-awareness and grow in confidence.
