Professional Consultancy

Skills Learning

Ann uses Teaching, Coaching and Mentoring techniques to enable professionals working with Neurodiverse people or those with Additonal Needs to learn how to support and teach them successfully.

​

This is done through attending one or more interactive Professional Development sessions. They will be taught practical Educational skills and techniques as well as developing their knowledge about how Neurodiverse people view the world. 

 

These sesions will equip practitioners to positively engage with and support the individuals within their setting.​  As well as enabling them to successfully implement their new skills and knowledge into their setting and make a positive difference in the culture of the whole organisation.
