Beskrivelse

Ailsa is an accidental Education Consultant, specialising in developmental trauma and neurodiversity. She trained as a secondary school English teacher and worked in a school for 17 years, thinking she would continue there until retirement. In 2013, she and her husband adopted a little boy, who was clearly differently wired.

Now, she develops and delivers training for educators as well as supporting young people in education settings. She loves the mix of working locally whilst developing and delivering training internationally. She wears many professional hats and teaches English 1:1, writes training, delivers professional learning to school staff, mentors neurodiverse young people, writes articles, gives media interviews, assesses grant funding applications for organisations that support care experienced young people and most recently, has become mature student studying her PGCert in Diagnosis and Management of FASD.
