JO-ANN PAGE is the founder and Clinical Director of Jo-Page Inclusion, a consultancy working to help young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Jo practices throughout the UK, Middle East and Africa, and has a wealth of experience specialising in ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. She is also a teacher and was Director of Inclusive Education for a global education provider. GAVIN REID is a parent of a young man who was diagnosed at an early age with autism. Unable to find accurate information about his son's condition, Gavin left classroom teaching and trained as an Educational Psychologist. He subsequently specialised in dyslexia, but he maintained a personal and professional interest in autism by giving talks to societies and parent groups. He also equipped himself professionally to assess and diagnose ASD and has supported many parents and young people in this way.
