About us

Hi! My name is Lillian, people call me Lilli. I began studying autism and SEND when my siblings got diagnosed. I have a Level 2 in: Understanding autism, Understanding behaviour that challenges and Understanding adverse childhood experiences. 
I went on to complete a Level 3 in SEND as a teaching assistant at the Wherry school, where I have spent almost 2 years gaining my qualification and experience.

This idea actually came to me during a bucket time session. Parents really struggle to help their SEN children get out for extracurricular activities, I thought well why isn't this an extra curricular activity?

So, I contacted the council, found a venue and gathered some experienced volunteers!

Now, within our autism explorers community we will strive to offer important skills via fun activities!

These activities will benefit; attention and concentration, fine motor, speech and language, imagination, basic life skills and more!

We want to help SEN children socialise, and nurture their skills and interests.

 

MEET THE TEAM!

Hello, my name is Charlie and i’m a volunteer at Autism Explorers! I have a younger brother with Autism and a learning disability, which led me to always having a passion to support children with additional needs and supported my knowledge and understanding over the years! I have worked in childcare for four years and i gained my Early Years Educator Level 3 in 2023. Over this time i have completed many courses relating to childcare and Special Educational Needs and Disability, including my SENDCO course in 2024!

Emma

Being a mum of neurodiverse children I wanted to give back to the community after being support by great groups along the way. There's no way my children would be where they are today without this much needed support.
Lilli is my eldest daughter and I'm so proud of her passion that grows everyday. She understands her siblings and understands the Importance of the right support.
I feel very lucky to be able to help her with this amazing journey.
