Anne-Marie Ford is a pal of mine since I heard her speaking so passionatley about early intervention for children with additional needs. Ann Marie has been a wonderful support my my daughter Charley who has dyslexia and has supported me in trying to navigate getting the correct supports put in place for her. Ann Marie is Principal of Scoil Naomh Cholmcille in
Tullydonnell Togher where she has worked since 2010. She is married to Andrew and has four children. Anne-Marie is currently finishing her clinical training in Psychoanalytic Pychotherapy this year. Alongside her teaching qualification, Anne-Marie has a degree in Philosophy and a Master of Arts in Humanities. She
has most recently completed a Master of Science in the Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King’s College London and a Master of Science in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from Trinity College Dublin.

Anne-Marie is passionate about early intervention for
children in relation to mental health and education, and ensuring equality of access to education for all children. She feels very strongly about ensuring
that all children especially those with additional needs are adequately supported in order to ensure that they are given every opportunity to meet their potential. Anne-Marie has been campaigning on a national level in the
last three years for better services and supports for children with additional needs and for their voices and the voices of their parents to be heard. Anne-Marie’s mission is to strive as hard as she can to improve services for
children and their families.

Thank you all for the amazing feedback on last weeks first episode with Jamie Byrne. For two people who were very concerned about releasing it, we shouldn't have worried! All we ever want to do is positively impact just one person & we did that for sure because lots of you listened to it with your kids and I am told it was very helpful to them. Thank you all so much for your care & support!

NOTE: We apologise for the noise interference. We couldn’t use the popper mics on our first day of recording as there were technical challenges. We didn't realise that the clip on mics were buzzing off each other till post production! So Irish though that the whole reason for getting a studio was to improve sound quality! You live and you learn.

Welcome to my new podcast in my new studio! Well this podcast was very emotional for me for lots of reasons as it’s with my one and only son, Jamie Byrne. I was so surprised when he asked to be on my podcast because he is normally so private! But the reasons why he wanted to come on, transpire as we talk. I learned some hard home truths and things about my own son that I wasn’t aware of. There are so many lessons in this episode for all of us. Jamie is so emotionally intelligent, I am honored to be his Mam. He is one of my biggest teachers & I am blessed to have him in my life. Thank you for doing this Jamie and thank you for being true to you.
