Mandy Mason is a transformer of lives, in fact if you follow that theme Mandy can lay claim to being the female human version of Optimus Prime!As the owner and Clinical Director of Fit Learning Australia, the Australian affiliate of a worldwide organisation, with a mission to transform the academic and cognitive abilities of every child who walks through their doors, Mandy transforms lives daily.As a single mum, with 2 beautiful daughters, her youngest daughter with severe autism, Mandy has transformed her own life personally and professionally many times, in a never-ending quest both personally and professionally to squeeze out every little drop life provides.Formerly a devoted bike rider, gym goer and marathon runner, Mandy has now found her passion as a world class Masters level sprint athlete, holding 5 world records in Masters Sprinting.But what of personal transformation? Mandy spent the first 17 years of her career studying (culminating in a Masters in International Tax law) and working in international tax structuring. Her first big transformation came when her youngest daughter was diagnosed with autism 2 days before her second birthday. This transformation saw Mandy commence her own consultancy in 2007 working with other families to access evidence based intervention for their children. Mandy was an early pioneer of autism services in WA and founded The LEARN Foundation for Autism in 2008, an early intervention program that was the first intensive centre based program to open its doors in WA and took early intervention in WA to a new level.
