Kelly Watson has been an extraordinary support to both me and my son, Harvey.
Harvey has a diagnosis of autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), and before Kelly became involved, he was struggling severely with his mental health at school. This led to him becoming a “runner” and displaying violent and highly challenging behaviours. It was an incredibly difficult time for him.

When Harvey received his EHCP, he was allocated 1:1 support — and that support came in the form of Mrs Watson (3 years of dedicated support). What a life‑changer she turned out to be.

Kelly didn’t just supervise Harvey; she transformed his entire school experience, she was his advocate and ensured his needs were met. With her therapeutic approach, deep autism awareness, and her own personal insight, she helped Harvey rebuild everything he had lost: his resilience, his self-worth, and his confidence. Because of her, he was able to attend school consistently and feel safe, understood, and valued.

Kelly truly turned Harvey’s life around. Her commitment, patience, and skill made all the difference, and we will always be grateful for the impact she has had on his journey.
