I'm inclusive educator - Autism & Neurodiversity Specialist teacher (with QTS, MA) and inclusionist (a person who advocates a policy or practice of inclusion, especially one of not excluding anyone on the grounds of race, gender, religion, age, disability, etc.).
 

Currently, I work as an Advisory Teacher for Autistic Young People in a local authority, providing specialist advice and support for neurodivergent students. My responsibilities include managing a caseload, overseeing progress, and collaborating with SENCos, social workers, parents, teachers, and local authorities. I also contribute to IEPs, attend planning meetings, and chair formal assessments.

​

Previously, I was an Autism Advisory Teacher in a different local authority as well as Autism Specialist Teacher for Year 3 and 4 students and taught in a high-needs classroom for children with complex needs.

I created this blog in order to share teaching ideas for inclusive and autism-friendly environments, as well as my personal views about neurodiversity and inclusive education. I believe that a holistic, interest-based, and cross-curriculum experiential learning approach enhances children's confidence and self-esteem and fosters academic, communication, behavioural, executive function, social, and life skills.
