Training and Consultancy
I offer training and consultancy to schools, organisations, workplaces and families, drawing on over 25 years of experience in education, SEND and best neurodiversity practice.
My work supports the development of understanding around neurodiversity, including dyslexia and dyscalculia, alongside practical, effective strategies that can be applied with confidence.
This also supports organisations in meeting their responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010, including making reasonable adjustments for neurodivergent employees and students.
