Lisa's vocation began 10 years ago when she attended a meet the teacher day for her son. Lisa has three sons all with SEN and is passionate about supporting children with autism and additional needs in school settings. She has worked as a 1:1 SEN TA and MSA whilst studying for her MA in SEND. The most pertinent words for Lisa, “every child needs a voice”, built on the belief that every child, verbal or non verbal needs to have effective communication. Working for Square 1 allows Lisa to share the skills she has learnt along her journey and ensure every child in every classroom has a voice and is included within that classroom community.
Lisa Role is “Delivering Special Provision Locally” (DSPL) this is Hertfordshire’s strategy to build the local capacity of schools to deliver quality local provision and ensuring equity of access to specialist provision so that children and young people can stay within their local community. Lisa, as Area Lead, works closely with local schools and SENCO’s to assist in providing the quality local offer, acting as the area contact regarding knowledge of services and support for children and young people with SEND, their parents and schools and settings.
