Experience: 

 

I have been working in the education and disability sector since 2000. I have gained practical experience in working with assessment, educational programming, and management of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In the past, I have worked closely with parents and  teachers implementing intervention and professional training programs to support students with autism. I have been a keynote speaker at the University of Tasmania, Inclusive Practice, and NSW health service presenting in the field of autism. My interests include Positive Behaviour Support strategies, social-emotional learning and creating resources for visual learning styles.

​

What I love about my work:

 

​I love hearing the positive impact from therapists or parents that the visual supports have made in fostering communication; increasing functional living skills and independence; reducing certain behaviours and/or anxiety and sensory overload. I thoroughly enjoy working with such an incredible, caring team at Independent Kids and Adults.
