About Kerry

Kerry is an early childhood specialist with a background in neurodiversity and disability. She is a lecturer in early years and SEND at Goldsmiths University, an author and student completing her EdD at Sheffield University. Kerry’s aim in working in the early years is to challenge the deficit narrative around development differences and to improve the quality of play-based intervention so that there is a move away from teaching neurodivergent children to mimic neurotypical skills, also referred to as masking.
