Meet the team / Joanna Burden

I have been an autism specialist for over 20 years. Prior experience includes teaching across Key Stages 1 and 2, as well as two years as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator. I also spent 18 months working as Lead Specialist Teacher of an autism provision within a mainstream school setting.

I am interested in the relationship between autism and ADHD and other co-morbid conditions, as well as therapeutic interventions such as yoga, relaxation and mindfulness. Recent study relating to females and ADHD has further informed my practice in schools.

Qualifications: Bachelor of Education (Honours 2:1). Postgraduate Certificate in Special Education: Autism (Children), Birmingham University.
