Kerry
Behaviour Consultant
Kerry is the founder and director of Horizon Hub. She carries out all the initial assessments of need. She delivers the necessary training and implementation of all strategies to staff, colleagues and external professionals. She provides ongoing advice and support to schools and families and ensures that all client targets are updated regularly. She is responsible for putting together reports, liaison with external agencies such as schools and their staff, with independent and NHS SALTs, OT specialists and any other exterior members of the client team. Kerry worked as a Nursery Nurse attaining a BTEC in Nursery Nursing and NVQ3 in Childhood Education, before going onto Leeds University to gain a BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies. She then went on to study Behaviour at Bangor University and gained her Masters. Kerry initially worked as an Independent Therapist for children with autism. She went on to work for a company as a 1:1 Therapist and on acquiring further experience, she gained a Supervisor position. After many years of devoted work within this field, she decided to branch out on her own to start up her own business, feeling that there was a significant need for bespoke 1:1 therapy for children with additional needs. Kerry lives with her husband, two older children, bulldog and Ragdoll kitten. Her personal experiences, having been diagnosed herself with Dyslexia and ADHD along with her children, make her even more passionate and understanding within areas of need. In her spare time, Kerry enjoys spending time with her family, going to the gym and heading out for runs, no matter the weather!
