My experience with special educational needs

I am a qualified Speech and Language Therapist, and I previously worked as a Teacher in both mainstream and specialist schools, with the majority of my experience being in specialist settings supporting Autistic students and those with additional learning needs. My work has involved supporting learners with a wide range of profiles, including those who are non-speaking, use AAC, have sensory processing differences, or experience significant emotional and behavioural challenges. I enjoy adapting the curriculum to the individual's interests and requirements and working closely with families to ensure each learner’s needs are met.

A bit about me

I am a Neuroaffirming Autism Specialist and have proudly spent all ten years of my career thus far working with young people with additional support needs. This means that I see every person as uniquely them, and I strive to encourage and support each young person to be confident, proud, and completely themselves! Some previous success stories: Supporting a young man in a Specialist School to study and undertake his GCSE history exam (a first in his school's history), which he did with confidence and excitement! Being called a "Safe Person" by a young lady with behavioural challenges and severe trauma, and guiding her through study skills and emotional regulation. Supporting a young person to enter the school building for the first time in 5 years due to severe anxiety. Encouraging a young man to take part in his school play, helping him transform from a nervous boy sat in a corner to the scariest hyena the Lion King has ever seen!

My teaching philosophy

I am a trauma-informed, person-centred, neuroaffirming coach and tutor. This means that I put YOU first in all I do, adapting my teaching, coaching, resources, and the curriculum to YOUR needs and YOUR interests! I like to make sure that we are both feeling happy, safe, and ready to talk by encouraging sensory joy, personalised goals, respecting your time and space, creating an environment where mistakes are encouraged, and celebrating all of your wins! Reviews from previous students: "Hannah is happy and smiley!" - age 16 "Thank you for helping me with me. I have friends now" - age 11 "Hannah helped me learn about Unmasking and now I enjoy things more" - age 19 "Hannah is a fun teacher!!" - age 8

Hannah has been working one to one with my daughter for over a year on her communication and life skills. Hannah has a friendly approachable manner and had built a great relationship with my daughter which is having a positive influence on her spoken language and communication.
