April Remfrey, MS
As an educational consultant, I specialize in supporting neurodiverse children and their families in international schools. I create comprehensive learner profiles to help schools understand each child's unique needs and abilities. I also work with schools to improve their disability-inclusive practices through professional development, teaching assistant training, and ongoing support.
With 25+ years of experience in teaching and learning support, I serve on the International and European boards of directors for SENIA and am a Council of International Schools Affiliated Consultant. I am passionate about helping children and their families achieve their full potential and believe that every child deserves quality education tailored to their unique needs.
Currently based in Zurich since 2013, I enjoy hiking, cooking gourmet food, and playing clarinet in the local concert band.
