Meet Lee-Anne

Founder, Developmental Educator, Special Education Teacher, and Fierce Advocate for the Inclusion and Empowerment of Neurodiverse tweens and teens

Hi there — I’m Lee-Anne! I’m lucky to live and work on Kaurna Country, in beautiful Adelaide — the leafy green 'City of Churches'.

When I’m not out and about visiting local schools and kindergartens, you’ll find me busy with the joyful chaos of family life — raising two spirited kiddos, wrangling a flock of cheeky chickens, and soaking up the sunshine in the garden.

After almost 20 years working across Government and Not-for-Profit organisations, I founded The Whole Child Allied Health in 2020, right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It began with a simple but powerful belief: every family, every child and every educator deserves to feel heard, supported and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Since then, it’s been an incredible journey — working alongside passionate families, brilliant young people, and dedicated educators, all striving to create spaces where all children can truly thrive.

With over 20 years of experience in Special and Developmental Education, I’m deeply passionate about supporting neurodiverse children, tweens and teens. I focus on creating practical, strengths-based programs and resources that truly meet kids where they’re at, helping them grow in confidence, build meaningful connections, and develop real-life skills that extend well beyond the classroom.

At The Whole Child Allied Health, everything we do is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for all perspectives.

Thanks for stopping by — I’m so glad you’re here.
