“Mr C (Dominic) is an exceptional educator and I was thrilled to meet him…”
Context: Public statement regarding Dominic’s Teaching role in Co-regulation strategies with ASD & PDA students.
Host of ABC’s ‘Parental As Anything podcast’ & ACAST ‘Good Enough Dad’ podcast.
“Dominic and the team have created a safe and encouraging space where our son has felt seen, heard, and valued. He loves playing Minecraft with like-minded peers while learning how to navigate social situations. I would highly recommend this program to any parent looking to help their child build strong, lasting social skills.”
“Play Panda Social Club has been incredibly important for our family. It’s a place where my children feel safe, understood, and genuinely accepted for who they are. The care, consistency, and thoughtfulness that goes into the program has made a real difference to their confidence and social connection, especially during times when those supports have mattered most.”
“As the SLP-Program Coordinator at Ocean Reef Senior, I worked with Dominic during his time as an educator in our program. He had a strong understanding of how to connect with our students with ASD and consistently showed a genuine passion for supporting their well-being and peer relationships.”
“Dominic has been fantastic with my 8-year-old son. From the very beginning, he was able to read him well and ensure he felt seen, understood and validated. My son began with a handful of one-on-one sessions before transitioning into small group sessions with peers who share similar interests, with a focus on each child’s strengths. It’s a great program, and you can tell Dominic is truly passionate about what he does. He is accommodating of all the children’s needs and ensures parents are always kept informed.”
“Play Panda is absolutely amazing, this club has done wonders for my son’s social skills, independence and self-regulation. The environment is extremely supportive, and some sessions also involve therapists. I would highly recommend for any child with ASD and/or ADHD. Thanks Dom for setting up such a worthwhile club!”
