James-Andrew Reid

Youth Worker- IT Specialist support for Complex behaviours at ANVG / Young-Somerset / NHS Oliver McGowan Trainer

Digital and Tech

I provide healthcare and educational support to a variety of clients both face-to-face and behind the scenes. A team player who is committed to the welfare, safeguarding, and promotion of pupils and adults with learning disabilities. A proven ability to encourage children, teens, and adults to achieve their potential by stimulating their enthusiasm for learning, making individual decisions and choices but also their determination to succeed.

Providing support for people with complex autism and their families takes a special type of person. You need compassion, understanding, and a real love for others, and I gained most of these skills working directly with infants, children, pupils, students, and adults supporting additional learning ESL, SEN, and disabled individuals with mild and complex learning, social skills and more recently updated during Covid-19 Health and Wellbeing.

Throughout my working life and learning more every day I continue to work one-to-one, in groups with people of all ages and varying levels of ability, and I apply my varied life experiences and a non-judgmental approach to identifying and analyse the training needs of individuals. My main niche skills as always have been using devices that are on the market, providing information, and supporting individuals’ assistance with communication techniques.
