Hi
My name is Michelle Gilchrist

Childhood Intervention Specialist | Special Education Teacher | Key Worker | Mum of 2 | Neurodiversity Affirming Practitioner

At heart, I am an experienced educator, armed with postgraduate studies in special education and a strong commitment to fostering inclusion in learning environments.

My journey as a teacher has been enriched by over 14 years of guiding students through the intricacies of education. Every learner is different, and my mission is to celebrate those differences, creating an environment where every individual, regardless of their neurodivergence, feels seen, heard, and valued.

​

On the home front, I'm a proud mum of two beautiful children. Our parenting journey took a turn (in the right direction) when my children revealed themselves to be neurodivergent. This personal experience has deepened my understanding and ignited an even greater passion for advocating for neurodiversity. It's not just a professional endeavour; it's a personal commitment to ensuring that every child, including my own, is given the support and understanding they need to thrive.

​

Embrace Education Services is a space where I endeavor to share my insights, experiences, and resources. Whether you're a parent/carer navigating the beautiful complexities of neurodiversity or an educator seeking innovative approaches to inclusion, I hope you find inspiration, support, and a sense of community with us.
