Why choose Think Different Consulting?

When families come to us, it's usually because they've hit a wall – a system that doesn't recognise their child or young person's needs or where reasonable adjustments aren’t in place.

We are committed to working with families and educators in a supportive and constructive way so that neurodivergent children and young people can access education that works for them.

We take a neuroaffirmative, inclusive and trauma-informed approach, and are guided by three core principles:

• Authenticity: Bringing lived experience and empathy into professional support.

• Connection: Building human, respectful and relatable relationships with families and professionals.

• Ethical practice: Prioritising the needs of children over profit.
