Jo McMeechan
Children’s physio and SEND consultant
SENStory CIC
Jo is a Highly Specialist Children's Physiotherapist working with families across the UK. She specialises in neurology and equine facilitated therapy; knowing and understanding all about how the brain works and how children develop through play and enriching experiences. She is a Mum to two boys, one neurotypical and the other autistic, ADHD with sensory processing disorder. So she also has first-hand experience navigating the health and education systems as an SEN mum.
Jo uses her experiences and knowledge as a parent-professional to help children to thrive and meet their true potential; whether that's in therapies, education, or day to day life. Jo is extremely passionate about breaking down the barriers of stereotypical clinical work and traditional teaching having seen the need for this with her own son. Jo runs a hugely successful and pioneering service that provides fun, back to nature opportunities in the outdoors to enrich children's experiences and enhance development. Jo supports children, their parents and professionals to get the best from their SEN journey by helping them to see the benefits in getting outdoors and away from traditional delivery. Jo not only works face to face with families, but also online in her powerful community membership The Therapy Toolkit Hub. Jo delivers support through her podcast, webinars, workshops and training to support families and professionals to be empowered and enable all children to thrive.
