Welcome to the Sleep Scotland Board of Management profiles page. |
| Name & Photo | Profile |
|---|---|
 Anne |
Anne has worked for the past 25 years supporting children and young people who have severe and profound learning disabilities. She has been especially interested and involved in helping those who challenge the learning environment and she has a lot of success in this area.
Anne is currently supporting Lindsay Graham in the TEENS+ project and hopes to be able to offer much from her teaching experience and current role as Deputy Headteacher of a Special Needs School. |
 Ruth |
Ruth is the mother of a teenage son with autism and learning difficulties. She also has responsibility for special programmes at Jewel and Esk Valley College of further education. She is acutely aware of the issues facing families with children with additional support needs, and the lack of post-school educational opportunities for those with complex needs.
Ruth served on the Scottish Executive committee that produced Paternership Matters, which set out to clarify the roles of individual organisations involved in accesing college provision. More recently she has supported Jane Ansell in planning the TEENS+ project and continue to serve as an advisor on the educational elements of the project. |
 Sheila |
Sheila works full time for a Government department and has experience in staffing, recruitment, health and safety and finance issues. The eldest of her four children has Autism and has attended the TEENS+ project since it started in 2006.
Sheila feels Sleep Scotland provides a valuable service and wishes it had been around when she needed it in the early nineties when she had many sleepless nights. Her son has thankfully now settled into a more normal sleeping pattern but having lived through this time she is conscious of the problems many parents have. Sheila believes that all people with additional support needs should as far as possible be part of the community they live in |
 Ruth |
Ruth Gebbie originally trained as a Chemical Engineer going on to work for BP for 6 years and lecturing in Process Design at Edinburgh University for 9 years. In 2006 she took her RHS Certificate of Horticulture and started her own garden design business.
She is a mother of 3, the youngest of whom has traits of Aspergers and didn't sleep well from birth. By the age of 5 he still had not slept through the night but with the input of Sleep Scotland he improved over a few months until he achieved a good sleep pattern. The benefit of restful nights to the whole family cannot be understated. |
