About Liam Stewart

After leaving sixth form to pursue a career in music I found myself at the academy of contemporary music. I left there a year later with a HND in Popular Music Performance (drums) and headed into the wide world of music. Completely overwhelmed by the depth of competition at a young age, I went into leading music workshops at SEN schools. I had grown up around SEN schools and just seemed to naturally take to it. My father was a head teacher in an SEN school so any day off school I had was spent there. I felt able to naturally communicate with people with autism and found myself with a persistence to help them succeed. I then started working in a school full time as a behaviour support assistant where I quickly learned building relationships was key to any sort of success for these young people. I also worked within a residential setting at the school promoting life skills and really learning what autism was like at home not just in school. It was eye opening. I have since become a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Learning far more into depth about communication and behaviour strategy and how to change behaviour and cope with difficult situations. Now, taking NLP into the world of autism has become a passion.
