How a UK-qualified teacher ended up building this
Inside the system
Laura qualified as a UK primary teacher in 2015 (PGCE, University of Southampton) and spent over a decade in UK schools specialising in SEN. For 7 of those years she was embedded in the SENCo team, in the review meetings, contributing to support plans, advocating for children aged 4–11 across ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, PDA and sensory needs. She saw the system from the inside: how decisions were made, what language the LA responded to, what schools could actually offer and what parents rarely got told.
The thing she couldn't unsee
Sitting on the school's side of the table, Laura kept seeing the same pattern. It wasn't the children who were drowning. It was the parents. Exhausted, overwhelmed, quietly wondering where to turn next. Not because they were failing, but because nobody had given them the same information she had. Given the right plan and someone genuinely in their corner, families didn't just cope. They changed course. She watched it happen, and she couldn't unsee it.
Switching sides
When Laura moved to Sydney, she finally had space to build what she'd always wished existed: not another waitlist or referral, but real, usable support in parents' hands. NeuroKind bridges the gap between what happens in school and what families live at home: practical, judgement-free, from someone who knows exactly how schools work because she worked inside them for a decade.
