Meet Early Years Inclusion Consultant: Marguerite Van Blerk
I am a Developmental Educator and Senior Early Years Consultant and have over 20 years’ experience in teaching in primary school and high school settings, as well as in early childhood community kindergartens.
During my six years at Autism Queensland, I have worked in a variety of roles in early childhood groups, individual therapy and now in this consultancy role.
I am passionate about advocacy and neuro-affirming practices. It is immensely rewarding to support children and families to achieve their goals and become active participants within their communities, and a privilege to journey them as they grow and gain confidence and independence. Through this role I will support teachers and educators to develop their own skills and knowledge so they have the confidence to support children in their care and work with others to create supportive and inclusive spaces for all.
