Did you know⁉️
As well as working in a specialist secondary school Monday - Thursday as a Pastoral Support Worker and running MSW I also work as a Sensory Needs & Behaviour Practitioner in the evenings and all day on a Friday! - I support families and education settings with understanding a young persons sensory needs and challenging behaviour.
So far I have provided practical support to many families in and around Oxfordshire and Wiltshire, online and in person.

I have carried out Sensory Needs assessments, observations and written reports to support schools in their understanding, and as a supportive document for EHCPs & DLA claims. I have advocated for families in EHAs & TAF meetings.
I have also been given the opportunity to talk to various staff groups and parent/carers and deliver workshops in understanding the WHY behind the behaviour.

Why me?....

On a personal level - I am a mum of 4 autistic/adhd children with various coexisting conditions between them (14, 11, 10 & 8years) and fully embrace our neurodiverse lifestyle!

On a professional level:

- I am an accredited sensory needs and behaviour practitioner which means I am qualified to carry out observations, assessments and write reports on sensory needs and recommend appropriate sensory interventions.
- I have a level 4 certificate in Educational Psychology.

- I am a qualified Early Years practitioner.

- I have studied mental health in children and adolescents at both Level 2 & 3.

- I also hold a level 4 in counselling children and adolescents.

Look forward to hearing from you soon,

Kirsty ❤️🌈
