Schools
I admire the passion and creativity I encounter as I work with schools who are committed to improving outcomes for their pupils with specific individual needs. Moving situations forward is often a journey which requires additional knowledge and experience and the opportunity to problem solve collaboratively, this is my offer to your school.
What I can offer your setting
For the individual child or young person:
Observations, talking to and working with the child or young person, liaising with staff and parents and providing practical and realistic recommendations for the child or young person followed by typed summary notes
As above, followed by a full report for statutory purposes such as a request for an Education Health and Care Plan. This would provide a profile of the child and recommendations for long term outcomes and supporting strategies to support academic and social development
Working directly with the child or young person on an individually devised programme to support a specific area of development, for example, emotional awareness and regulation
Attendance at meetings
Signposting to, or creating specific resources for the child
Coaching in a range of interventions and strategies including; Intensive Interaction, Attention Autism, Social Stories (Carol Gray), structured work systems (TEACCH), Music Communication, Zones of Regulation
