MARIE SMITH is a special educational needs and disability consultant. She supports children and families, and early years and teaching professionals, across the West Midlands.
‘I’ve loved all my past teaching roles and I’m passionate about child development and working with children with special educational needs (SEN). I decided to become a consultant because I was missing the ability to be really involved with families and children and use my specialist skills.
‘I’m currently working on a mix of projects. I’m doing consultancy work in nursery and Reception schools for individual children with special needs. I run a home-teach session each week. I’ve written training packages on autism and child development of children with SEN for a training company. And I’ve started delivering training for a teaching school on autism, SEN and the autism code of practice.
