I’m Angela a lecturer, educator, trainer, and mum of three boys. My journey to creating Neurodiversity UK has been anything but linear, but every chapter has shaped the work I do today. What I teach comes from lived experience, professional expertise, and years of standing beside neurodivergent young people, families, and educators who just needed someone to understand.

For over 15 years, I co-founded and ran an education company called Education Plus. We supported young people who weren’t in mainstream education students who learned differently, thought differently, and often felt misunderstood or overlooked. Over the years, I trained a team of 26 teachers in inclusive practice and behaviour support, helping them build learning environments where every young person felt safe, seen, and capable. That work showed me what real inclusion looks like: not ticking boxes, but building trust, understanding, and connection.

After relocating as a single parent with my three boys to the South coast. I moved into teaching in further education and trained over 100 teachers in 'Initial Teacher Training with a focus on learning differences and behaviour management. And now I lecture at a local university. There, I specialise in developing and delivering Neurodiversity Micro-credentials for staff and the wider community, helping organisations understand what meaningful inclusion actually looks like day-to-day.

Neurodiversity UK brings all of this together education, wellbeing, and lived experience into one mission: a more neuro-inclusive future.
