“Thank you, Kristy, for yet another brilliant masterclass. Informative, real and balanced, with a dose of good old Kristy humour and laughter. These are the elements that have made your work my go-to for years as a parent of PDAers.
Much appreciated.”

Learn more and registerEducation grounded in research and lived experience
Kristy’s work brings together research about the brain and body, autism, PDA, trauma, nervous-system safety and relational practice with more than two decades of experience across early childhood education, primary and secondary classroom teaching, education support, family services, community practice and professional learning.
Her work is also shaped from the inside through her lived experience as an autistic person with ADHD, PDA and CPTSD, and as the parent of four autistic children with varying forms of neurodivergence.
Across every resource, the focus remains autonomy, dignity, relational safety and belonging.
