    NEURODIVERSITY CONSULTANT

    “I am passionate about the field of neurodivergence and in meeting children where they are.  I use a collaborative approach and aim to empower others through support, knowledge and increasing confidence and awareness, using a strengths-based approach. 

    I have worked in the field of SEND for over 25 years and bring a wide range of professional expertise, as well as lived experience through family members. I have worked as a SENCO across several local authorities and hold the NASENCO qualification. My wide range of classroom teaching experience means I look for practical, realistic solutions and effective achievable strategies.   

    As the Senior Advisory Teacher, I led a Local Authority Advisory Service for autism and communication and interaction needs for CYP aged 3-19. I have worked with muti-agency professionals co-producing advice and standards documents and have a wealth of experience across all fields of SEND. I have had wide-ranging involvement in statutory assessment processes for EHCNA and contributing directly to these, identifying and advocating for individual CYP needs. I readily use a multi-professional approach, looking to enable effective support strategies through holistic working.”
