How The Books Began

I have a few family and friends who have children with additional needs, some have Autism, some have ADHD and most of the children have both. They had been asking me to help them recommend books and resources which can help them to parent their children as they are struggling to understand some of the behaviours which their children display. One of them came to me and said “you are an experienced Social Worker and I am sure you must have worked with parents with children who have Autism and ADHD, can you please help me with some strategies to help me manage my child’s behaviour?” I told them I would research books and other resources which can help them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I write non-fiction books that help people improve the quality of their lives. The books I write are mostly to help families, adults and children to better manage some of the challenges they face in their daily lives. I am a Social Work Practitioner with qualifications in Public Law and Social Work. Most of my career has been in Social Work where I did frontline Social Work and managed Social Work Child Protection and Fostering Teams in different Local Authorities in the UK. Supporting Children and their families has always been my passion. The books I have written so far include books about parenting children with additional needs such as Autism (ASD) and ADHD. I have also written a book to help adults with ADHD manage their daily challenges better. I currently have a few more books I am writing which will soon be added to my list of books including a Specialist Parenting Programme for parents and carers of children with ASD and ADHD.
