See Beyond provides independent school advocacy and education support for families of children and young people with disability, neurodivergence and complex educational needs. I work with families across Australia to understand what is happening at school, identify appropriate educational responses, prepare for meetings and advocate for reasonable adjustments and inclusive education.

Using a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach to identify what is working and what is not, I recommend adjustments for school based on current best practice in special education, legislation, and policy.

My focus is always on practical, reasonable adjustments that support inclusion without creating unjustifiable hardship for schools.

My approach starts with ensuring children have a sense of felt safety while at school. From there, I collaborate with parents and schools to find what might be the best fit, based on need, rather than diagnosis.
