Professional Services
Neuro-affirming training, consultancy and support for professionals, schools, colleges, universities, health and social care teams and organisations.
Training, workshops and lectures
I provide bespoke neurodiversity-affirming training, workshops and educational resources for families and professionals to support young neurodivergent people.
I have worked with different colleges and universities to provide training for students and teaching and social care staff. Lectures, seminars and workshops are also available for organisations, teacher-training, education, health and social care course providers.
Previous training topics include:
- What is neurodiversity?
- How to be inclusive in the classroom
- Barriers to education for neurodivergent young people
Consultancy
I work alongside charities, universities, schools, community organisations and fellow researchers to develop neurodiversity-affirming approaches, resources and environments. My consultancy brings together more than twenty years as a SEND teacher, my own experience as a late-identified Autistic person and parent, and a deep interest in monotropism and Autistic-led research.
CPD-accredited training for schools
Tracy Jones and I work together to provide training for schools and organisations. We explore neurodiversity-affirming ways of supporting Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent children and young people in education. These sessions are designed for settings in the UK and can be tailored to your needs.
Delivered by our sister brand, Neuro-Affirming Training.
Two Autistic-led courses by David Gray-Hammond and Helen Edgar
David Gray-Hammond and I have co-authored and created two online courses together, now gathered in the NeuroHub Horizons Project in partnership with NeuroHub Connect. Re-Storying Autism is a video course and workbook for parents, carers and Autistic people. Building a Positive Autistic Identity is a gentle, self-paced course written for Autistic people themselves. Both begin from the same place: that difficulty is so often found in the environment around a person rather than inside them.
Re-Storying Autism is also available under licence for therapists, practitioners and organisations. Please email David to find out more.
