A former University of Worcester student has published a book with advice for teachers on special needs education.
Victoria Honeybourne, already a published author on Special Educational Needs (SEN) teaching, has released her latest work Educating and Supporting Girls with Asperger's and Autism.
She was diagnosed with Asperger's herself as a young adult.
She says studying at the University first sparked her interest and career in special needs education.
The 33-year-old from Cleobury Mortimer, became interested in the subject while studying for her PGCE in Secondary Modern Foreign Languages at the University of Worcester, which she completed in 2008.
Her decision to study at the University of Worcester she said was partly driven by the opportunity to enhance her PGCE with the additional extra study in Special Educational Needs that was offered.
She said: "I found it fascinating to discover different ways of learning and various ways of removing barriers to accessing the mainstream curriculum.
“I also enjoyed the variety that teaching learners with SEN brings.”
