Autism support and coaching for parents and carers online

Every child is a unique individual, with different abilities and needs.

At times, I know it can seem difficult to know how to best help your child.

There is a lot of information about supporting autism out there, which can be confusing and conflicting.

There is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

Using my expertise and experience, I help parents and carers by:

Focusing on your child and their individual strengths and needs. Every child is unique.
Enhancing your knowledge about autism, sensory and communication needs
Give advice or help you to identify and implement strategies to support your child, with specific outcomes in mind (e.g. reduce 'meltdowns' or support with eating)
Equipping you with a range of 'tools' and strategies to help yourself and your child.

Examples of specific themes of support I can help with:

advice to help children make progress with their communication
understand why children are behaving in a certain way
reduce 'challenging' or self injurious behaviour
ideas for learning activities
understand sensory seeking or sensory avoiding and how to support this
toilet training
feeding and exploring new foods
to manage emotions and learn self regulating strategies
to develop new play skills
meaningful interactions with children
help children to make smooth transitions during the day (without getting upset)
sensory activities at home to meet sensory needs

I can teach you strategies that will really make a difference!

Over the past 10 years, I have taught many children with a wide range of complex needs and abilities.

I have learnt many helpful, evidence-based strategies that really help children to understand, communicate, learn and make good progress.

Children with autism learn differently. We therefore need to parent and teach differently.

I had the privilege to have Steph as my son's teacher for 3 years. The work and dedication she has with children is amazing.

“In the time that Steph has been working with my school, I have been able to see a sustained improvement in the provision offered. This has been the case in the growing knowledge and skills of the staff she has worked alongside, the physical environment provided for pupils with ASD and the outcomes for those pupils"
