About

My practical training sessions are designed to support teachers and teaching assistants in meeting the special educational needs of children in mainstream classrooms. They are full of strategies and techniques to use with pupils in both primary and secondary settings. These sessions also offer support for staff in co-ordinating support and collaborating with colleagues. Senworks training is designed for schools keen to upskills their teams and respond positively to neurodiversity.
