Meeting Cathy and working with her as an experienced SENCo to support my students has been one of the most pivotal moments in my career and life as a parent myself. Despite having an autistic daughter and us all having attended post diagnostic meetings and workshops within CAMHS, I have learnt more from Cathy in one parental session she led for our school and through attending her mentoring workshops for young students within my school than I have done in all my other experiences as a parent and teacher.
