Testimonials
- "I have worked with many teachers across the years as a manager, member of the
inspectorate (National lead in Autism) and Head of Service. I have never worked
with anyone with an ability to match Adele’s. Her contribution to Scottish
Education has been quite unique and outstanding over the years. She has made a
simply remarkable difference to the lives of so many children and their
families." Angela Edwards, Head of Inclusive Education, Culture and Corporate Policy, Inverclyde Council, Scotland.
- "As a practitioner, Adele has a great knowledge
of autism but, of far greater importance, is her knowledge of each and every
young person as an individual. She has a natural ability to make everyone feel
valued and worthwhile - not just our young people, but parents and colleagues
as well. Adele believes in solutions, not barriers. She inspires and
supports those around her, always making the difficult days seem that bit
brighter!" Patti Wilson, Principal Teacher, Stella Maris Unit - Communications and Language Base, Inverclyde Scotland.
- "As a parent, you worry whether you’re making the
right decisions for your children. Adele is so skilled and professional; each child is treated as an individual and care and concern given to all.
She was and is always cheerful, never complaining and as a result had a very dedicated, hard working
and committed team of staff. The children were always encouraged to try their best academically and were given every
opportunity to achieve. With Adele's hard work and persistence, these children
were totally integrated into mainstream school.My son left the base a
confident young man and is now embarking on a Higher National Diploma in retail management. I now
know I made the correct choice for my son in sending him to the Columba
Base, with an inspirational lady, Adele Kytzia, at the helm." Joyce McNaught, parent of a former student
- "Adele is the best mother I ever had, which is why I made her this website for Mother's Day." Emma, daughter
