As a parent to two neurodiverse children, my eldest and youngest of five, I deeply understand the challenges in finding suitable extra-curricular activities. Having worked in the leisure industry for many years, the difficulties I have encountered with my son have inspired me to create opportunities for neurodiverse individuals in the realm of sports and leisure. My qualification with Autism Swim marked the beginning of an incredible new venture!
Given my existing qualifications as a swim teacher, it made perfect sense to start with pool-based activities.
Currently, I hold the following qualifications:
– STA Level 2 Award in Teaching Swimming
– STA Level 2 Certificate in Teaching Swimming
– STA Level 2 Award for Safety Award for Teachers
- Autism Swim Certified Provider
- Autism Swim PDA and Aquatics
– School Swimming Academy
– STA Award in Aquatic Teaching – Disability Swimming
– Level 1 & 2 Makaton (with Levels 3 & 4 to be completed in September 2025)
