Ness

Ness has always been interested in working with people, especially those experiencing disability. She has worked in the area for over 20 years, particularly with children, adolescents and adults who express their challenges through behaviours of concern. Additionally, Ness has worked in research and education in the disability sector.

Ness has worked extensively with disability accommodation settings and in family homes with both children and adults, and with children and adolescents in out of home care (foster care) settings. She has worked within school settings to support positive engagement for social, emotional and learning outcomes. Ness particularly enjoys working with children and assisting them to build skills to communicate their needs effectively, and regulate their bodies and their actions.
