Sarah is a highly experienced teacher with extensive knowledge in supporting students with additional needs. Her passion was ignited at the start of my career in the U.K. where she started her career, in a school with a language unit attached. In 2008 after teaching in Singapore as a Learning Support Teacher Sarah moved to Australia and appreciates first hand the difficulties that parents encounter in the journey through school with her own children having learning difficulties. This is what led Sarah to complete numerous courses in the search for evidence based teaching of literacy practices.
