About Michelle Ireland
Michelle is an early-career South African Educational Psychologist and trained at the University of Cape Town, University of Stellenbosch and University of Pretoria, South Africa. She has specialized in psycho-educational assessments in children from kindergarten through to tertiary level education. Additionally, she consults with schools who are geographically isolated to assist in developing inclusion practices within limited resourced environments. Staff development and training and parent education programs are a large part of her work in these remote areas.
