About the Speaker
Courtney King
Courtney has 10 years of experience working with students with disabilities. While studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary/Disability Studies), she worked as an education support aide, gaining valuable experience supporting individuals with disabilities at a mainstream high school, primary school and special school. Once graduated, she began teaching in Special Education where she remained for five years. During this time, she taught in the classroom and as a specialist teacher in Drug and Alcohol Education and Sexuality and Relationships Education (SRE).
