About Naomi Burgess

I have a long and established career in Education, Educational Psychology and Disability. I am skilled in diagnostic assessments and working with individuals. My organisational experience gives me critical insight into the strategic management for young people and adults with special educational needs and disabilities. My 26 years as trustee and volunteer with IPSEA has provided me with a keen insight into the difficulties faced by many families in getting the needs of their children recognised. I am well networked professionally, with medical, complementary medical, legal and teaching specialists.
