Position: Teaching assistant and dance and drama co-ordinator at Bridge Special School, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands
- What do you find rewarding about working with children with learning difficulties and autism?
My goal is to make the most of children's opportunities. Some children who have challenging behaviour in the classroom can take part in a fully inclusive session with children from mainstream schools. It's great when children who perhaps don't tend to join in in other lessons demonstrate different movements.
- How did you feel about getting the free ticket to the Global Children's Trust charity ball?
