AUTISM ANGELS - Key Persons

Hi I'm Katharine. I am the Business Support Manager for Autism Angels, I manage the office and day to day enquiries. I first became involved with Autism Angels with my daughter who is autistic. As a parent myself I understand the challenges families can face. I am delighted to now be part of the team in supporting other parents and families.

I have been working in the horse industry all my working life and have been fascinated with learning about different approaches to horse behaviour, especially after experiencing a problem with my own horse Timmy. I was blown away that I could learn to understand what he was truly trying to tell me and listen to him in his own language and that working with his natural reactions could help us form a partnership built on trust and communication and love. This led me to becoming involved with Autism Angels where the skills I had learnt from the horses about non-verbal communication helped me work with the children and their families.
