Lynn's Story
I’m Lynn McCann and I’m the specialist teacher who loves to support anyone to understand their autistic, ADHD and PDA students
Reachout ASC is a team of specialist teachers with many year’s experience and expertise. We work with children of all ages, making school better for them.
- We understand what teachers are going through because we have all been there, in the classroom, and understand all the pressures and targets that are put upon you.
- We know you are not given enough training to support all the student’s needs in your class.
- We understand parents because we are parents of autistic children and children with other additional needs.
- We understand our students because some of us are autistic and some of us have ADHD.
- We understand what our students are going through because we make our first priority to listen to them, giving them the communication tools they need to be able to tell us what school and being autistic is like for them.

Teaching Assistant's Review
Much of this was more applicable to teachers. This course did not hold my interest very well, a variety of formats and presentation methods would have been better than listening to one person speak.

Transition advice
Despite some English-specific information, I found this really useful for me as an ASN teacher in Scotland. I don't have responsibility for ASD children within the school where I work, however, as I see all children as my responsibility, this course was incredibly useful to me and I have come away with some invaluable resources. Much of the advice is useful for all children and it served as a reminder of how planning and thoughtful presentation can make a huge difference to children during the transition period, particularly during the stress caused by Lockdown. Thank you very much
Rebecca

Well known fundamental how to involve children back to school
I have personally found this course quite basic which is nothing wrong with. I was expected much more specific recommendations refer to unusual situation we are since March'20. What my inner sense says me that we need to be flexible and with rather creative approach when it comes to go back to school in September, especially for High school autistic and SEND pupils Year 7, 8 and 9. We do not know what it will be pandemic situation in fall term times. However, recommendations are useful and well established on requirements of educational institutions in UK.
