Meet the People Behind DIFFERabled
A small team with big ideas, driven to create change and a more inclusive world.
We are a unique collective of individuals who truly understand the neurodivergent journey because we live it every day. The majority of our team are parents raising children and young people with various neurotype, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, and most of us also carry our own diagnoses or proudly self-identify as neurodivergent. This deeply personal connection fuels our work with authentic empathy, understanding, and dedication.
Beyond our personal paths, we bring a wide range of professional backgrounds to the table. Our team holds qualifications spanning both college and university levels, beautifully blending robust academic knowledge with invaluable, real-world insight.
At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to the wellbeing of the entire family, ensuring that parents, carers, and individuals alike feel valued and empowered. Together, we channel our combined strength into one unwavering goal: breaking down barriers and making the world a more inclusive, supportive place for everyone, throughout every stage of life.
