Lauren's Story
From being misunderstood to making a difference for others.
Lauren is an Autistic ADHDer who wasn't diagnosed until after completing a degree and a master's. In her personal education journey - from primary school through to university - she faced challenges that many neurodivergent young people still experience today: feeling different, being misunderstood, and struggling to find the right support.
Now, Lauren co-delivers our training, sharing her story with honesty and warmth. Her lived experience brings the training life, helping education staff understand the real impact of their attitudes, language and practice - and empowering them with practical ways to make a positive difference for every young person.
"I share my story so that other young people don't have to struggle in the same way. When schools understand neurodiversity, they can change lives"

Aim - To inspire education staff to make learning more accessible for neurodiverse pupils by embedding reasonable adjustments through adaptive, inclusive practice.
Learning Objectives
- Explain neurodiversity and common co-occurring profiles (including Autism, ADHD and AuDHD).
- Recognise early indicators of dysregulation and unmet need.
- Understand why autism (and other neurodiverse conditions) are described as invisible
- Reflect on your own values, beliefs and practice
- Recognise potential differences, strengths and challenges for neurodiverse pupils
- Identify reasonable adjustments and ways to adapt your practice through practical low cost strategies
- Develop relationships and understand pupils as individuals.
- Record the impact
This programme has been developed through a partnership between The Tapscott Learning Trust (TTLT) and First Response Training (FRT), combining TTLT’s expertise in educational excellence, inclusion and SEND with FRT’s nationally recognised co-production model. To date First Response Training has delivered training to over 80'000 NHS and Social care staff, making them ideally placed to deliver this co-produced model to education
With extensive experience supporting pupils with SEND and developing inclusive school cultures, TTLT has helped shape the programme to ensure it reflects the realities of mainstream education and provides practical, evidence-informed strategies that can be implemented immediately. TTLT will also support delivery, school engagement and the sharing of effective practice across its networks, helping to establish a sustainable model of mainstream inclusion that can be scaled across London and beyond.
Endorsed by the DFE through Funded Programmes
Why do we need this training?
"One of the most powerful aspects of this programme is that it moves beyond awareness and focuses on meaningful change in practice. Throughout the pilot phase, we saw staff develop a deeper understanding of neurodiversity, reflect honestly on the barriers pupils face and identify practical adaptations that could be implemented immediately. The 'One Child in Mind' approach helps bring the learning to life, ensuring discussions remain rooted in the experiences of real children rather than abstract theory. What stood out most was the impact of learning directly from Experts with Lived Experience, which consistently challenged assumptions, increased empathy and inspired action. Schools left not only with greater confidence and understanding, but with tangible plans to improve inclusion, strengthen relationships and create learning environments where all children can thrive."
