As a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Teaching Assistant my role is crucial in supporting and motivating students with learning and behaviour difficulties while collaborating closely with teachers. I have worked with children varying ages from 4 years old to 14 years old with a range of disabilities and learning difficulties - specifically in autism. My empathetic nature along with communication and adaptability skills allows me to connect with individuals, understanding their unique needs and preferences and accommodating these needs to make a positive impact on both the academic and personal development of learners with SEND.As an aspiring clinical psychologist, working as a SEND TA offers valuable hands-on experience in psychological principles, allowing me to apply and deepen the knowledge gained from my BSc Psychology degree. Knowledge I have been able to apply includes; an understanding of human behaviour such as how different conditions and learning disabilities affect behaviour, emotions and cognition - applying behaviour management strategies and building therapeutic relationships. My understanding of developmental psychology enables me to adapt support strategies based on individual needs (autism and learning disabilities) and work with children at different developmental stages, observing their cognitive, emotional and social growth.

As a dedicated swimming teacher, I design and deliver high-quality lessons to swimmers of all ages and skill levels. My responsibilities also include assessing progress, providing constructive feedback and ensuring adherence to safety regulations. My interpersonal skills allow me to build rapport with students and parents to deliver engaging and motivational sessions to build the confidence and technique of swimmers in the water. By fostering a positive and supportive learning environment, I have the privilege of witnessing swimmers develop both their swimming skills and their personal social growth. As a teacher, I play a crucial role in mentoring and developing the skills of my assistants while inspiring teaching techniques. I have completed a Deaf Friendly Swimming CPD course, enhancing my swimming teaching by providing specialised skills and knowledge to effectively support and instruct hard-of-hearing swimmers.
