Amanda Barrie
I have more than 30 years experience in primary education, a mix of mainstream and special. Since 2005 I have worked as a specialist advisory teacher for SEMH. After completing my MA via the SEBDA courses I moved on to a professional doctorate researching with children with SEMH needs seeking their opinion on LEGO Based Therapy.
I’m a member of SEBDA National Council and have been a course tutor since 2012.
I have 4 grown up children and a cat.
