Hi I’m Steph Reed, an Autism Specialist Teacher and Consultant.
Following 10 years of teaching many incredible autistic young people with complex needs, I developed and led a School Autism Outreach Service, and have also been part of a senior leadership team as SENCo and Inclusion Leader.
I now provide outreach, training and consultancy with practical support to schools, services and families using personalised, child-centered and evidence-based approaches.
I also have personal experience of learning ‘differently’ and with success!
I am here to support you in feeling confident and skilled in meeting diverse needs and ensuring children are reaching their potential.

What Head Teachers and SENCO's say...
Testimonials from schools I have supported in person
“The outreach and training has enabled my schools to provide accurate support to our ASD pupils as well as started to up skill my staff on key strategies to use to be successful with ASD pupils”
Michelle Thomas
EXECUTIVE HEAD TEACHER, NEW WAVE FEDERATION SCHOOLS, HACKNEY, LONDON
“In the time that Steph has been working with my school, I have been able to see a sustained improvement in the provision offered. This has been the case in the growing knowledge and skills of the staff she has worked alongside, the physical environment provided for pupils with ASD and the outcomes for those pupils”
Jess Hutchison
HEAD TEACHER, GRAZEBROOK PRIMARY SCHOOL, HACKNEY, LONDON
“Each session provides a wealth of ideas and support for the teachers and support staff to immediately employ in their practice. As a result, the children with ASD are supported more effectively. Meetings with the SENCo and senior leaders also increase their knowledge of ASD within a wider school context”
Alexandra Webb
