Specialist Teacher

Jade Knight

Jade Knight

I have been an Early Childhood Teacher for the last 9 years, working in many different education settings in Australia and the UK. My passion for teaching children with disabilities and developmental delays led me to pursue further education in 2020 completing my Master in Inclusive Education. I joined the OTW team in 2023, further following my passion to work one on one with neuro-diverse children and their families. I believe that building respectful relationships with children, families, teachers and their extended support team is fundamental to my role as Specialist Inclusion Teacher at OTW. This will ensure that we all work as a team to develop and implement effective support plans for each child. I like to spend my spare time with my family and friends, and we enjoy getting outdoors camping or sailing in our beautiful backyard.
