Monica Pacheco
MA Physiotherapy
Physiotherapist
Monica joined the PaNDA for Kids team in July 2024 with a Master of Physiotherapy. Since completing her studies at the University of Canberra in 2021, Monica has gained experience working with both the general adult population and paediatrics in the ACT.
Monica has extensive experience working in early childhood development and a passion for empowering young families to find their own way of play to best support their child’s development. Specifically, Monica has experience working with children with Global Developmental Delay, Down Syndrome, rare genetic conditions, Traumatic Brain Injuries or tumours, Cerebral Palsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Monica strongly believes in the importance of early intervention and taking advantage of the formative years to provide a solid foundation for children to reach their full potential. She is dedicated to utilising evidence based interventions and incorporating them into play to develop individualised programs specific to each family’s goals and priorities.
Outside of work, Monica enjoys all types of dancing, yoga, running and exploring Melbourne.
