    With nearly 20 years in education, including as a Learning and Support Teacher and Coordinator, I've worked alongside schools, teachers and families to support children with diverse needs.

    Today, through EmpowerEd, I help parents understand the school system, advocate with confidence and build collaborative partnerships with their child's school.

    My approach isn't about confrontation.

    It's about calm, informed and child-centred advocacy that helps everyone work towards the same goal: helping your child thrive.

    FAQs

    Is the workshop really free?

    Yes. The workshop is completely free to attend.

    Will there be a recording?

    Yes. If you're registered but can't attend live, you'll receive access to the replay for a limited time.

    Can I ask questions?

    Absolutely. There will be time for questions at the end of the workshop.

    Is this relevant if my child doesn't have a diagnosis?

    Yes. Many children need support before a formal diagnosis, and the strategies discussed apply regardless of diagnosis. This is a good reminder that your child doesn’t need a formal diagnosis to receive adjustments at school.

    Ready to Feel More Confident?

    You don't need to know everything about the education system.

    You simply need to know what matters most and what to do next.
