Loving Change and All things Learning

About the author

Kay Harrison

Welcome to the loving change and all things learning blog. It’s a bit of a mouthful but I couldn’t describe the blog any simpler. I do love change and the exciting opportunities it brings and I love learning and the richness and value this adds to my life. So much so that I am passionate about seeing others enjoy learning and using that learning to reach their potential.

I am a learning designer and educator. For the past 20 years, I have supported and taught neurodiverse students from early childhood through to higher education. The students I have spent time with all have a very special place in my heart, they have made me laugh, inspired me, and helped show me what the important things are in life.

I’m looking forward to sharing the stories.
