  about Emma Ryland  
 

I was a teacher in UK from 1994 until I moved to Dordogne, France in 2006. I worked in mainstream and special primary and secondary schools, for the National Autistic Society, and for Sheffield LEA Autism service.  Many of the families I worked with never had a holiday, but they all had a huge need for a break. 

Once I became lucky enough to live in such a beautiful place, I decided to try and enable people to have the holidays they deserved, so I talked to some people who agreed with me and happykidsholidays was born.
