Siobhan is a Neurodivergent Educator, Speaker, Writer and Advocate. Her husband, three children and herself are all Neurodivergent with a mix of Autism, ADHD, giftedness, Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. An experienced teacher with a demonstrated history of working in the education industry for over 20 years in Special Education (specializing in Autism, ADHD, Giftedness and Dyslexia), 

Science and Maths in both Australia and Singapore. Siobhan started her career completing a BSc (hons) and then simultaneously completing a PhD in Physical/Theoretical Chemistry and a Masters of Teaching. She is currently completing a Masters of Education in Cognitive Diversity (2e- Gifted and Special Needs). Siobhan, together with another Neurodivergent teacher, have begun an Educational Consultancy business in Sydney which conducts PD at schools, supports parents at school meetings, coaches parents to become more successful advocates for their children, and work with Neurodivergent children to help build their self-awareness and self-advocacy skills through a strength-based talent development model. Siobhan holds a unique position as a Neurodivergent advocate and mediator for children at school. She has sat in everyone’s chair: the teacher, the parent and the child themselves. She hopes that we can forge a world where our Neurodivergent children are seen through a strength-based lens rather than a deficit-based lens. Where they feel understood, heard and embraced for their strengths which will enable them to be defined by them and to soar!
