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 creating inclusion in learning environments.
Over the past 14 years, my journey as a teacher has been shaped by the ups and downs of guiding students through their learning. Each challenge and success has added something meaningful to my experience, helping me grow alongside them
​
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.
​
At home, I’m a proud mum of two wonderful kids who have taught me so much. Our parenting journey took an unexpected but meaningful turn when we discovered their neurodivergence. This experience has opened my eyes in ways I never imagined, deepening my understanding and fueling my passion for advocating for neurodiversity.
​
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.
