I have had first aid training
I have extensive experience supporting children with a range of special educational needs in both school and home environments. My work has included: • One-to-one teaching support for children with autism using structured programs such as PECS and CABAS, tailored to individual learning styles and communication needs. • Teaching children with dyslexia, supported by formal training and diplomas in Dyslexia Support (NCFE and Blackford Centre, Distinction). • Residential care experience in therapeutic settings for emotionally and behaviourally challenged children, focusing on consistency, structure, and behavioural support. • Use of therapeutic approaches, including art-based and animal-assisted therapy, as part of a child-centred strategy to build trust, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional well-being. • Training in PROACT-SCIPr-UK, NAPPI, and TCI, providing tools for de-escalation and safe behaviour management. • Delivery of lessons and care for children with trauma histories, learning differences, and behavioural challenges in diverse cultural settings including Egypt, Uganda, the UK, and the US.
I have worked with babies before and have two children of my own
