Jax holds an MA in Leadership in Education, PGCE in Secondary Geography and BSc (Hons) in Earth Science. She is also trained as an Executive Function Coach and has undertaken the NPQ for SENDCo.
At Sense Inclusion, Jax brings substantial educational and SEND expertise to our multidisciplinary team. She is particularly well placed to support young people who need a flexible and individualised route back into learning, helping them understand how they learn, develop practical strategies and build the skills and confidence needed for greater independence.
Jax joined Sense Inclusion to strengthen our educational offer and provide specialist educational input for children and young people with more complex needs. She is involved in some of our higher-need cases, particularly where significant barriers have made accessing or remaining within an education setting difficult.
Jax supports individualised learning and carefully planned transitions, including helping children and young people build towards successful reintegration into school or other appropriate education settings.
Her educational expertise complements the therapeutic and clinical work of the wider team, helping us bring education, SEND, therapy and intervention together around the individual child or young person.
