Shahd Abdalla

Aspiring Educational Psychologist, Looking for roles

Hi everyone! My name is Shahd Abdalla, and I have recently moved from the UAE to the UK. I worked as a learning support assistant and an ABA therapist back home for a few years, and I'm now looking for roles in special education in pursuit of my goal of becoming an educational child psychologist in the future. I decided to join this network to connect with some likeminded people who share my passion for working with children and helping them thrive in their own unique ways.

Joss Lambert

Project Officer, Ambitious about Autism

Hi everyone!  I'm Joss and I work for national charity Ambitious about Autism on our Autistic and OK programme for secondary schools. Autistic and OK is a groundbreaking peer-led programme that aims to support autistic pupils with their mental health and educate the wider school community on autism.  Our programme aims to build a whole-school community where autistic pupils feel understood and accepted. I'm excited to connect with members of the SEND Network and hopefully bring the benefits of Autistic and OK to as many UK secondary schools as possible. Please do get in touch via messaging or email if you have any questions or queries, I'd be really happy to answer them!
