An artist and very experienced teacher of children with special needs. I lead Art classes and believe Art can support mental health, well being and personal development in all of us. I love cycling, travel and nature. Most recently combining all three in a tour of Peru.
A teacher of students with Special Educational Needs, with over 30 years experience. I have taught students aged 2 to 19, with my most recent experience being with students aged 14 - 19. My particular expertise is in working with students with ASD, Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities and sensory impairments.
I focus on recognising and developing students strengths, placing them at the heart of my practice. I follow an Intensive Interaction approach, building communication skills and achievement through motivating, fun learning experiences.
I develop individual programmes to support students to achieve accredited qualifications in a range of subjects. I also focus on developing communication, interaction and skills for life.
