Leanne Mays

Hi I'm Leanne, welcome to my Solutions Social Care profile! I joined Solutions Social Care in April 2022.

I have been working with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder for nearly 10 years, starting with voluntary work with young people with autism when I was 14. I am very proud to be a Senior at SSC and am passionate about providing high-quality support, that is complimented by my background in psychology and neuroscience.
