Happy April, everyone,

To celebrate this month, James and I have set up an online popup bookshop to give James a taste of work experience. Only 16% of people with Autism are at work; this figure has not changed for many years. This is one of our significant worries when James leaves education.

I have attended conferences and training during the past 12 months about Autism in the workplace, and there are some great programs available within global businesses. Still, it will take time for employers & employees to learn and understand a neurodiverse mind's capabilities and to improve the statistics.

We have chosen a beautiful range of books for primary age children they are biographies about famous people, beautifully illustrated these are books that can be reread time and time again.

If you could support and share, visit our bookshop and buy, we would appreciate it; we will be donating to National Autistic Society and a set of books are being donated to St John’s CE Burscough Primary School as a thanks for the support we received whilst going through the diagnosis process.

James will receive a wage for his role as Head of Posting & Packaging. Supporting his IT, communication, organisational skills, finance, and travel (to the post office) skills.

CV-library is a great source for new jobs, it also has a good amount of jobs advertised, therefore making it easier to do your own salary review to see the range in pay and how jobs differ in description from company to company.

Happy in between Christmas and New Year. I haven't posted for a while as I've been doing my Level 6 in Careers Guidance and Development, the idea on this page is to share thoughts and ideas on getting the right role for you and what are the steps that help you get there.

I work with people of all ages and abilities.

The picture below outlines the coaching model in relation to Teaching and Mentoring.

If there is anything particular you would like to know or see please ask or DM?
