Whole school/college neuroaffirmative development 
We help education settings develop inclusive environments through:

We can also assist with one-off or specialist projects or development within your school.

Public speaking

We offer inspirational talks, referencing progressive thinking around autism and neurodivergence, in collaboration with the autistic community. Our talks endorse a strengths-based focus and a positive narrative around autism/ADHD and neurodivergence.

Our talks can be tailored to meet your specific needs, both in terms of platform (e.g. face-to-face or online) and audience (e.g. professionals, parents, students).
