Experience and qualifications:
I have experience since 2009 mainly working in ADHC group homes for people with profound Autism and Neurodevelopmental Delay, Aquired Brain Injury, psychosocial and physical disabilities. During this time I also held positions in Community and Mental Health support and casework.
I also have understandings, skills, and strategies developed from many years of previous personal life experience of living on the Autism spectrum with related hidden disability challenges. This was using the Recovery process as a peer and consumer self-managing their recovery.
