Support for those living or working with individuals with additional needs
I offer bespoke practical advice and support to parents and professionals on all aspects of special educational needs. I have more than 20 years of experience in education including many years working for the local authority supporting parents and professionals through home visits, training and consultancy meetings. I have worked with many families who have children with emerging needs or are the beginning of their journey. I have lots of experience working with families and students who have very complex needs requiring a multi-agency response.
Please contact me here if you would like more information or would like to discuss the support I can provide you.
