Autism Care Newcastle Upon Tyne

| Hi! My name is Imogen and I am currently studying my masters in Foundations in Clinical Psychology at Newcastle University. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from The University of Sheffield, obtaining a 2:1. I would love the opportunity to make a difference in your and your child's lives by providing any extra support needed. I do not currently have experience in childcare but I have previously volunteered for Age UK and the Shuttlewood Clark Foundation where I worked with individuals experiencing dementia. I have received valuable, detailed education in developmental disorders, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I would describe myself as friendly, approachable, reliable and caring. My future aspirations is to be a Child Adolescent Clinical Psychologist, so being able to help care for children who need extra support would be something i would genuinely love to do. I would also potentially be willing to work as a volunteer or for minimum wage. I am very flexible with hours, as my teaching time at university allows me a lot of free time and I would be willing just to help out in anyway I can.

| I have worked with children for over 20yrs in special school, I have a vast of experiences with a variety of general care to personnel care. At the moment, I am looking after my foster sister who has Edward syndrome. I work part time in a primary school with a child who has autism, with 1 to 1 work encouraging him to join in activities. I have learned Makaton for over 15yrs. I love working with children with special needs as I find it very rewarding even if its just a smile or even bigger. I am a foster carer also

| I am currently going into my third year at University, studying Primary Education. This summer I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work at a special needs camp in America called Summit Camp. I was a counsellor here for children with ADHD, ASD, Autism as well as children with developmental disabilities. It was an amazing experience and I got to know the children’s needs very well. I formed very good bonds with all of the children that I worked with and have developed a passion for working with children with special needs.

| I fostered children with emotional and behaviour problems, I also have experience of autism. I was a career for the elderly and disabled and people with dementia also adults with learning disabilities.
