| Introduction | I am an applied educational psychologist living/working in Finland, where I have a daughter. In 2006, I achieved a Master of Education degree - with Distinction - in Inclusion, Special Education & Educational Psychology, specialising in educational/developmental difficulties faced by autistic adults from a psychological perspective (following closely the BPS DipEdPsychol syllabus). I then gained a Certificate of Professional Studies in Education, specialising in educational/organisational ethno-psychology/psycho-anthropology. In addition to assessments and counselling, I also design and teach courses related to my professional interests. When not busy being a freelance psycho-educational consultant, consultant educational psychologist for the Finnish Autistic Empowerment Committee, Chairperson of APANA, I taught ESL at a local adult education college. I am also a solo performer (guitars/vocal), doing occasional folkie gigs. Because of new law in force in the UK, this is me: David N. Andrews M. Ed., C. P. S.
