Jule was a former university student of Dr. Neufeld's and went on to do graduate studies in Europe, becoming an expert in working with autistic children and their parents. Now a senior faculty member of the Neufeld Institute, she brings an incredible depth and mastery of the Neufeld approach to her leadership role in the German language. Besides hypersensitivity, she also has a special interest in the role of play in development and treatment. Jule has lived experience of this material as the mother of an autistic young adult. Fluently bilingual, she also serves as faculty in the English Program.
Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s book Hold On to Your Kids is available in German, making the insights of the Neufeld Approach accessible to parents, educators, and professionals in your own language.
Es ist ein beunruhigender Trend unserer Zeit: Kinder und Jugendliche orientieren sich zunehmend an Gleichaltrigen – an ihren Werten, ihrer Identität und ihren Verhaltensregeln. Diese „Peer-Orientierung“ untergräbt den Familienzusammenhalt, beeinträchtigt die gesunde Entwicklung und fördert eine feindselige und sexualisierte Jugendkultur. Kinder werden übermäßig konformistisch, desensibilisiert und entfremdet. „Cool“-Sein ist für sie wichtiger als alles andere.
