Founder

Angela is the founder and director of A Special Design Support Services C.I.C, otherwise known as ASD Support Services C.I.C.

Angela is a Family Practitioner, as well as an experienced ASD Outreach Worker having worked for a Local Authority in London for 7 years.

She has a wealth of experience with supporting autistic children in Primary schools. Angela has worked closely with Headteachers, SENCo’s and teaching staff, along with playing an instrumental role in the creation of Designated Specialist Provisions (DSP’s) in mainstream schools.

Having worked in the education sector for over 15 years, alongside Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Education Psychologists, Angela’s passion for supporting parents with children with SEN had influenced her decision to create A Special Design. This service celebrates the uniqueness and individuality of autistic children and is a service that recognises the support that parents/ carers and local communities may need in helping to create more opportunities and improve outcomes.
