Parent and staff Education + Advocacy

Are you looking for a speaker for your parent or staff groups?

I’m happy to discuss how I could help with Parent Education Talks, Staff Workshops or Professional Development Days. These can be in-person or via zoom. 

I am also able to help with advocacy at your child's preschool or school.

"Brilliant workshop. From the start you illustrated 'labels' in an 

engaging way that encouraged conversations. Wonderful to discuss

 the senses in relation to neurodiversity. Very informative and relevant. 

We really do need to meet the children 'who' they are. 

Looking forward to sharing this information with colleagues at our centre. 

Thank you."
