SEN consultant for schools in Malta

I work with early years and nurseries, primary and secondary schools, specialist provision, health and social care services, charities and community organisations.

What I can do

Schools usually get in touch at one of three points. Some are identifying needs and want early guidance. Some have support in place but concerns remain. Some are planning training or developing their provision. In each case, the first step is a conversation about the setting.

From there, the work can take several forms:

• Consultation about one learner’s needs.
• A review of current strategies and next steps.
• Guidance for staff, including teachers and LSEs (Learning Support Educators).
• Staff training and workshops.
• Ongoing consultation and reflective practice.
• UDL and inclusive practice across the whole setting.
• Early years SEN support for nurseries and kindergartens.

How I work

I work at the intersection of special education, behaviour, inclusion and educational leadership, with a particular interest in turning evidence-based practice into support that actually works in real classrooms. In my current role I lead SEN provision within Early Years, developing individualised programmes, guiding staff and collaborating with families and multidisciplinary professionals. I have also worked as a Special Education Consultant, adapting educational and STEM programmes for learners with diverse needs and advising on accessibility, engagement and inclusive design.

I work in person in Malta or online, in English or Italian. I like asking questions, challenging the occasional “we’ve always done it this way”, and finding solutions that are evidence-informed without forgetting that every child, family and classroom is different.

I do not assess or diagnose pupils. In Malta that belongs to the statementing process and the School Psycho-Social Services. My work is consultation, guidance and training for the adults who support the children.
