About Me
|
I was born in Hong Kong in 1967 and moved to the UK aged 5.
After finishing school I attended the University of
East Anglia and was awarded a BA (Hons) degree (IIi)
in Philosophy, Politics & Economics.
I worked in the USA at Summer Camp for 11 summers
between 1991 and 2005, which is where I first worked
with children with ASD.

My interest in working with Children with special
needs grew as I worked as a resource center worker offering
respite care for children with learning disabilities, some
of whom had autism.
I also worked as a care practitioner in a children's
home.
During 1997/98 I studied for a postgraduate
certificate in education at University of East Anglia and
worked as an early years teacher (nursery and reception age
here, equivalent to kindergarten in the USA).
Between 1999 and 2001 I worked as curriculum
support teacher in a Resourced Provision in a mainstream primary
school before teaching Year 5 children for 1 year.
I took some time out to develop my computer
skills to make me a more effective teacher before returning
to full time teaching in 2004 as the Manager of Provision
for Children with ASD which remains my full time occupation.
In 2005 I decided to embark upon a project to
share my experiences with others culminating in my ebook and
associated projects.
