Melissa Lacey

My name is Melissa Lacey and I am the PAACT Secretary. I have lived experience of ASD with a PDA profile, ADD, ARFID, Dyspraxia, generalised anxiety and SPD, with my teenage son.

I have a special interest in low demand parenting and all things home education. I truly believe all children thrive and learn best when their anxiety is much lower, more manageable and they are ready to learn in what they are interested in.

Learning takes many different forms and thinking outside the box is vital when helping and supporting our children and young adults, whether it be education, friendships, social skills, life skills, communication and relationships.
