Agne is a Co-Founder of SENSORY SPACE. She has moved to Ireland in 2005 since she graduated from Vilnius University, Kaunas Faculty of Humanities from her home country Lithuania where she completed Bachelor’s degree in German Language and Literature. In the hope of starting a career in Ireland she started working  in Dublin Airport where she mainly worked in sales and customer service.

When her first son was diagnosed with Autism,  Global Developmental Delay, Sensory Processing disorder and Anxiety Disorder, her career and personal plans changed and stopped for a while. She became interested in special needs and started studying a Master’s degree in Special and Additional Learning Needs. At the moment she is completing her research and dissertation about social and emotional wellbeing of children with SEN. She believes that one of the most successful pathways to support children socially and emotionally is a collaboration of parents, educators and allied professionals.

In 2019, after gaining a lot of personal and professional experience about living and working with autistic children, Agne published her book ‘AUTISM: 365 different days’ which was illustrated by her son Linas, and she started her personal blog on her website  www.feelautism.com. Soon after that, together with Jurgita, she went for a new challenge – SENSORY SPACE.

She is a collaboration partner with Family Carers Ireland on the Emergency Card Scheme, which was launched by Taoiseach in 2020. Together, they developed a Social Story to help people understand how to use the card.

As part of her approach to managing the therapy centre, Agne ensures that a positive, safe and supportive environment is provided for not only the children that attend therapies at the centre, but the whole family unit as this is an intrinsic part of  the therapeutic process.

Agne enjoys learning and studying and successfully acquired studies in Real Estate Business and Business Management.
