I am an autism specialist teacher and consultant providing one to one intensive teaching for children and adults on the autistic spectrum. I offer private consultation sessions for parents offering advice and guidance, and autism training support for schools, teachers and professionals in the workplace.

I have over 20 years experience as a Special Educational Needs teacher in mainstream and special provisions working with children and adults with a range of disabilities both in the Switzerland and the UK. Leading an autism provision provided opportunities to develop a unique and highly effective set of teaching strategies using music, art and drama dedicated to supporting and improving children’s speech and language, social interaction and behaviour.

I am a powerful and passionate advocate for children with autism and their right to receive the best education possible. I always have high expectations for my pupils and personalise my teaching to meet each person's unique and individual needs. With this approach, I believe that it is possible for children and young people in the autistic community to find success and fulfilment.
