Neurodiversity-Informed Support for Schools and Education Professionals​

Practical, compassionate ADHD and neurodiversity support for schools, grounded in professional lived experience and real-world understanding of education settings.

Based in Hailsham, East Sussex, working with schools and education professionals across the UK.

Supporting Neurodivergent Learners Is Complex

Schools are under increasing pressure to support neurodivergent students while balancing academic demands, behaviour policies, attendance targets, safeguarding, and family relationships.

Many professionals care deeply and are doing their best, yet still feel stuck. Parent–school relationships can become strained. Strategies that look clear on paper do not always translate into the classroom. Executive function challenges, emotional dysregulation, and unmet needs can quickly escalate into stress for everyone involved.

My work supports schools and education professionals to better understand neurodivergent learners and to build more effective, compassionate approaches that work in real life.

My Approach to Neurodiversity in Education

I am an experienced former teacher, executive functions and an ADHD parent coach, and a late-diagnosed ADHDer.

This means I understand:

  • The realities and constraints of school environments
  • The lived experience of neurodivergent children, families and educators
  • How quickly misunderstanding can turn into conflict or breakdown in trust

My work is neurodiversity informed, strengths based, and grounded in both professional experience and lived reality. It is not about blame or compliance. It is about clarity, understanding, and practical support.

Areas of Support for Schools

I offer support in areas including:

ADHD support in schools
Understanding neurodivergent learners and their needs
Executive function challenges in school and how these show up day to day
Emotional regulation and behaviour through a neurodivergent-affirming lens
Parent–teacher communication for ADHD
Supporting families without increasing shame or pressure
Building more effective home–school relationships
Understanding and supporting neurodivergent teachers and classroom staff

This work helps schools move away from crisis management and towards more joined-up, sustainable approaches.

Who This Support Is For

This service is relevant for:

Teachers and classroom staff

SENCOs and inclusion leads

School leadership teams

HR, pastoral and wellbeing staff

Education professionals working with neurodivergent students

It is particularly helpful where teams feel unsure how best to support a child or staff member, or where parent–school relationships feel strained or stuck.

How I Work With Schools

Support is tailored to your setting and needs. This may include:

  • One-to-one professional conversations
  • Consultation and reflective support
  • Guidance around specific neurodivergent learners or situations
  • Support focused on strengthening parent–school relationships
  • Neurodiversity-informed perspectives grounded in lived experience

The focus is always on what is realistic, ethical, and supportive within your context.

Why Teaching with a Difference?

Many education professionals are trying to do the right thing within systems that were not designed for neurodivergent individuals.

My role is to bring:

A clear understanding of ADHD and neurodivergence
Insight into family experiences beyond the school gate
Lived experience of working in schools as a neurodivergent educator
Practical, compassionate guidance
A non-judgemental, collaborative approach

This work supports better outcomes not just for neurodivergent students, but for the adults supporting them too.
