I am a specialist in Neurological Disorders and provide interventions and training for: Attachment Disorders, ADHD, Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome and related conditions. I have a number of roles including training education professionals in schools and colleges, observing young people in the learning environment and providing intervention strategies, to help young people achieve their potential.
As well as running networking day courses across the UK for SEN, I provide short courses for Bishop Grosseteste University as well as holding a number of other UK contracts and outreach services including Norfolk, Harlow, Flintshire and Wakefield.
I specialise in working closely with schools to raise standards, including insets, twilights, consultations and observations. Most recently a mainstream school in Durham who had been graded as “requires improvement” by Ofsted. Following 25 months of intensive interventions they achieved “outstanding”.
In November 2016, I chaired the panel Tackling Mental Health, Setting a Strategy at Educated Yorkshire.
Further afield I have provided hands on training events in Cork and Dublin and advised on a Special Schools project in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At the moment I am working on two projects for the United Arab Emirates and am preparing to travel to Belgium to work with British Schools overseas to provide Autism and ADHD interventions.
