I love to talk and write about all things related to neurodiversity…

That’s it really!

Thinking and talking about neurodiversity is so important. We need to think critically, and reflect honestly, on the world that we are part of and specifically how we make that world a more inclusive place for neurodivergent individuals. Celebrating strengths, acknowledging and supporting challenges.

I have written and spoken extensively on this topic. My book titled ‘How to be a brilliant SENCO’ was published by Routledge in 2020. Despite stating I would never write another book, I contributed a chapter to the book ‘Leading on Inclusion’ in 2021 and a further chapter in the book ‘Psychology and Educational Inclusion’, published by Oxford University Press in 2023. A book focused on navigating a late neurodivergence diagnosis is in the pipeline.

My work has been reported upon in the TES, The i newspaper, Schools Week and the Good Schools Guide, as well as numerous educational publications. I have written for The Early Years Educator, Headteacher Update, Secondary Update, Connect and Special children, alongside publishing various peer reviewed articles, based on research I have undertaken.

Whilst I love writing, it is energising to speak to people about neurodiversity and I regularly speak at conferences, as well as to schools and other organisations, about inclusion. I have spoken at numerous events, including the British Dyslexia Association International conference, Westminster Eduction Forum, NasenLive!, Festable, A-Fest, Westminster Insight Forum in addition to other Local Authority and Multi - Academy Trust conferences. I have presented with the Driver Youth Trust and work with Local Authorities in the development of CPD programmes.
