Masks & Empathy work with additional needs students, Yorkshire, 2009
Artist In Residence (Autism/PMLD/additional needs)
Experience includes a seven year full time residency at chapel Grange School from 2003 - 2010. I devised, implemented and disseminated a whole school arts programe for special educational needs. The work was successful and my role expanded to visiting many other schools in the region to run training sessions on using the arts to engage hard to reach pupils with autism, profound disabilities and a variety of additional needs. I use fine art, music and drama to effect engagement and development.
I engaged in training for autism awareness, intensive interaction, dramatherapy and positive handling during this residency.
