Think Different Consulting
Thinking differently about difference.
Offering advice, support, and guidance to autistic young people, their families, and schools, with a focus on getting education right.
Change your mind - not the child.
What I Offer
-
Bespoke advice around the needs of individual students - those who have been identified as autistic, and those who are yet to be formally identified
This includes observations of students, attending meetings, collating information from a range of professionals, and direct work with students to gain their perspective
-
Helping families secure the right educational approach for their child
Supporting your child to understand their own unique strengths and challenges as an autistic individual
-
Tailored training for your organisation to help your staff better understand and respond to the needs of autistic people
-
Neuroaffirmative, strengths based talks, focused on understanding autistic experience in the context of the most up-to-date thinking
My Ethos
A lot has changed over the last decade in how we understand autism and autistic experience.
Think Different Consulting challenge the idea that autistic students should learn how to fit into the neurotypical world. Instead, my mission is to shape the world to become a more neuroinclusive and neuroaffirmative place.
Through listening to autistic children, young people and adults, I offer a different way to think about the support needed - by changing minds, not children.
