Creative Practice and Neurodivergence
In this presentation, I explored how I have used my art as a way of deepening my understanding of Neurodivergence and how, through this understanding, it is possible to reimagine the story of self.

Podcasts:
PASSHE the professional body for Specialists Support Tutors is hosting a quarterly podcast called Neurodiversity Campus which I co-host with my colleague Kris Granger
Episode 1: An interview with Henry Hayward: Understanding and working with neurodivergence
Episode 2: The second episode of the podcast is an exploration of a Professional Peer Support session with my colleagues Tanya Zybuts and Stella Klein.
Episode 3: In the 3rd episode we interview PASSHE members Tom Nash and Richard Fletcher who are instrumental in developing PASSHE's AI policy document. We explore AI in higher education and what this means for SpLD students and tutors alike.
Episode 4: In this episode, we talk to Rosemary Richings about her lived experience of dyspraxia. How it is misunderstood and exploring how with improved understaning it is possible to better navigate the impact of dyspraxic processing.
I have the great pleasure of exhibiting my Neurodivergent Fairy Army at the Holly Lodge Community Centre on the 29th and 30th of November. The talk on the 30th July 2025 explains how these figures are related to my Neurodivergent practice.

I am thrilled that two of the people I have worked with, Rebekah Wallis and Henry Hayward have contributed to the AchiveAbility E-Journal.
Rebekah has written about her creative practice through the lens of her neurodivergence, exploring how her neural wiring is fundimanal to her process.
Henry has contibuted a research proposal. The focus of the proposal is to explore the barriers to sight reading for dyslexic actors.
