Manager, ACE Centre-North
Anna qualified as a teacher in 1986, and spent three years
teaching in primary education, followed by seven years in special education,
focusing on the needs of pupils with severe learning difficulties. In 1992 she
studied a Diploma in SEN / SLD.
Her teaching experience within an SLD school focused mainly
on Reception and Year 1 pupils, overseeing their induction and initial
assessments in school, as well as establishing relationships with parents, and
developing inclusion within and outside the school. During this time, she
developed an awareness of the potential of technology to assist learning in her
capacity as ICT coordinator.
In January 1996, Anna became the Manager of the ACE
Centre-North, which is part-funded by Becta and Oldham MBC. In addition to
managing the Centre, she is active in the delivery of the Centre's services
including inter-disciplinary assessments, training and the provision of advice
and information on the field of assistive technology and has developed her
knowledge and skills of the assistive technology needs of individuals with
physical and communication impairments.
