Welcome to Spectrum SA

Your Path. Your Pace. Real Outcomes.

My name is Penny, and I am a Developmental Educator situated in Gawler, SA.

I provide practical, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed developmental education services - helping individuals and families build everyday capacity, confidence, and participation across home, school, work and community.

I am here to help you find what works, keep what works, and build from there.

Testimonials

I work with people of all ages and many different backgrounds - children, adolescents, adults, parents and carers, educators, and other professionals. Here’s what they’ve shared about working with the services I continue to provide through Spectrum SA.

Thank you. You have changed lives

Michelle G.

(Neuro-spicy Client)

It’s just amazing, mate, you know - what Penny's done for me has totally changed my life. I’ve quietened down, I’m calmer, and I can hear and be heard.

Paul T.,

(Acquired Brain Injury)

The DE sessions with Penny are one of the really few times I feel genuinely supported and understood. She doesn’t judge - she listens, explains why my ASD/ADHD/PDA boys behave the way they do - and helps me respond in ways that won’t escalate things. It’s been a huge relief to have someone who “gets it.” Without these sessions, I think I would have burned out completely months ago.

Spectrum SA is an Inclusive Practice

Acknowledgment of First Peoples

Spectrum SA recognises the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of the land now known as Australia. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. This nation’s First Peoples are connected to the oldest continuing cultures on earth. We acknowledge the many Nations on which we live, work and enjoy life.

As a justice-oriented profession, we stand in solidarity with First Peoples in the continuing effort for social justice and autonomy.

We Support the LGBTQIA+ Community

Spectrum SA stands proudly as an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community and we celebrate the extraordinary diversity of people’s bodies, genders, sexualities, and relationships that they represent.

Acknowledgement of People with Disability

Spectrum SA affirms that people with disability are at the heart of our profession. We acknowledge the historical and ongoing injustices experienced by people with disability, and we commit to working in ways that uphold and advance their rights. We recognise and value their contributions within our profession, as well as the vital knowledge and perspectives they, their families, and their communities, share in both practice and research. Our work is guided by collaboration, respect, and a commitment to equity and inclusion.
