Based in Devon, SW England; primarily covering Exeter, Mid and East Devon. Virtual sessions are available throughout the U.K. I follow the Autism Education Framework and the Core Capabilities Framework for supporting Autistic People.
A fundamental part of my business foundation is that I am an autistic parent carer of two Neurodivergent children with opposing additional needs. My eldest is autistic (PDA profile) with Auditory (APD) and Sensory (SPD) Processing Disorders, Hyperacusis, Misophonia, Social Anxiety, Sleep difficulties, Restricted Sensory Aversive eating, Selective Mutism, and suspected ADD. My youngest is asthmatic, with Sensory, Auditory & Visual Processing Needs, functional bladder/ bowel needs, suspected dyspraxia, and awaiting an autism assessment; my own Tigger Tornado.
Being an autistic adult has helped me better understand my children’s needs. I have bilateral sensorial hearing loss (completely deaf on one side), APD/SPD, Trigeminal Neuralgia, HEDS (a connective tissue disorder), and hypermobility. Prior to having children, I worked as an Area Trainer for a national family photographic company; a children’s nanny, club security, and in childcare.
