Her philosophy
Progress starts with observation, not assumption.
I don't believe in applying the same plan to every child. I believe in figuring out what this specific child needs, and building from there.
Read her full approachHow she works
A process built around the individual child.
Observation
Time spent understanding the child before any plan is written, including how they communicate, what motivates them, and where they find things difficult.
Personalised planning
Goals set with the family, not imposed on them, based on what actually matters for that child's day to day life.
Consistent one to one work
Regular sessions that build a relationship of trust, adapting as the child's needs and confidence change.
Reflection with the family
Ongoing conversations with parents about what is working, what needs adjusting, and what progress looks like next.
Evidence of work
Selected case studies.
Down syndrome
Small Steps, Real Independence
From needing full support at mealtimes to managing most of it independently within a school term.

A closer look
What one session actually looks like.
01
The environment
A space prepared in advance, calm and free of distraction, set up around what today's session needs.
02
The connection
The first few minutes are rarely about the task itself. They're about the child feeling safe enough to begin.
03
The activity
Chosen for this child specifically: what motivates them, what stretches them, and what they're ready for today.
04
The process
Progress rarely looks dramatic in the moment. It looks like sustained attention, a second attempt, a small adjustment.
05
The progress
What gets recorded afterward: what worked, what to try next, and what to tell the family.
In her words
Patience isn't passive. It's one of the most active things you can offer a child.
