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.
At Powertutors, we believe that every student deserves the right support to thrive and be ambitious. That’s why we provide specialist tutoring for children and young people with SEND, helping them build confidence, develop skills, and achieve their potential.
Our tutors ensure that learning is tailored to each student's unique needs. With flexible, one-to-one support, we create a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment where every learner can succeed.
Together, we’re making education achievable for all—one student at a time.

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!
I was a special schools teacher for 28 years then an ICT SEN Advisor for a local education authority before setting up my own Assistive Technology company doing consultancy, assessment and training in the area of Assistive Technology.
I am a council member for the British Assistive Technology Association and the producer of "The Power of Assistive Technology film series.
I am a freelancre trainer with Neurobox as well as an international speaker at events here in the UK at The Dyslexia Show, BETT Show & BDA groups around the country
