As an educator, Emma has had a rich and varied career. She has been a teacher for over 20 years, working in a range of environments. Emma’s passion to support SEND has derived from her professional and personal journey. This has led to her belief in people’s abilities to overcome barriers and difficulties. Emma's last role in education was as the head of a specialist provision, focused on the needs and education of children with autism. Emma has used these experiences to develop the Essential Education Group LTD which is a consultancy and training company, specialising in special educational needs, in particular neurodiversity.
