Hello! I'm Alison.
I’m an autism specialist teacher with over 20 years’ experience in education and a Master’s in Autism. For almost a decade, I’ve taught autistic learners in specialist classroom settings.
I know how difficult it can be to find practical support that actually works for the learners in front of you, especially when time, staffing and workload are already stretched.
Elevating Neurodiversity is where I share the strategies, classroom insights and resources I use in real specialist teaching practice.
I understand the highs and lows of our profession, and I’m here to support you in building inclusive, high-quality learning environments for all learners.
Let’s work together to lighten your workload and uplift our neurodiverse students, because every child deserves to thrive.
