Think Different Consulting
Thinking differently about difference.
Offering advice, support and guidance to neurodivergent children, young people, their families and schools, with a focus on getting education right.
Change your mind – not the child.
What we offer
-
Helping you to secure the right educational approach for your child.
Supporting your child to understand their own unique strengths and challenges as a neurodivergent individual.
-
Bespoke advice around the needs of individual students – those who have been identified as neurodivergent (with a particular focus on autism and ADHD) and those who are yet to be formally identified.
We can observe students, attend meetings, collate information from a range of professionals, help provide training to help staff better understand and respond to the needs of neurodivergent students and work directly with students to gain their perspective.

In the workshop, we will cover what the word "neuroaffirmative" means and how to think and talk in a strengths-based way. We will also give you practical tips about how to apply neuroaffirmative theories to your family life so that you all feel supported.

“Sadie and her team are the most knowledgeable, understanding and accepting neurodivergent advisory professionals we have ever had the privilege to work with.”
Our ethos
At Think Different Consulting, we embrace neurodivergence as a natural and valuable form of human diversity. Being neuroaffirmative means we build on strengths and celebrate difference rather than trying to ‘fix’ perceived deficits.
We challenge the idea that neurodivergent students should learn how to fit into the neurotypical world. Instead, our mission is to shape the world to become a more neuroinclusive and neuroaffirmative place.
Through listening to neurodivergent children, young people and adults, we offer a different way to think about the support needed – by changing minds, not children.
“I go to a lot more lessons now. The group Sadie set up helped me get more comfortable with the school because it’s given me a group of people who I can trust and talk to. It’s a space where I don’t have to mask and can be myself.”
