Practical guidance to help
neurodivergent learners thrive
A safe space for neurodivergent learning and connection
This is your space to be yourself, learn your way, and connect with others who truly understand you. We aspire to be a neuro-affirming environment where children, families, and professionals can unmask, find solutions, and keep rising together.
With years of classroom experience, mentoring neurodivergent children and families, and a deep passion for neurodiversity advocacy, I provide resources, training, and workshops that help children thrive, families feel supported, and schools become more inclusive.
Families are at the heart of everything we do..
At Rise with Katie, I understand the unique challenges and joys that come with raising neurodivergent children, often as neurodivergent parents ourselves. My mission is to provide families with the support, tools, and understanding they need to help their children thrive in a world that often isn't built with them in mind.

I also understand from experience the challenges professionals face when supporting neurodivergent students within systems not designed for them. Classrooms can be complex, and every child has unique needs.
Through tailored training and workshops, I help teams working with children feel confident in their approach, equipping staff with strategies that work in real life.
My sessions cover understanding ADHD, autism, and PDA, exploring masking and school anxiety, and embedding neuro-affirming practices across your school.
The result? Confident, inclusive classrooms where every child can feel understood and supported.

Inspiring young people
I also visit schools to meet children directly. Through assemblies and interactive workshops, I celebrate the incredible variety of brains, foster empathy, and show students how they can support one another.
Sessions are tailored to each school and often explore neurodiversity, inclusion, LGBTQIA+, and my book The Girl Who Always Could.
These visits inspire children to embrace their differences, support each other, and feel confident in their unique abilities.
Inspire your students to celebrate neurodiversity
For parents, teachers, and professionals, I offer tools you can use immediately. My guides, tip sheets, and strategies save time while giving confidence and clarity. And our book is an ideal way to start talking about ADHD at home and in schools. Whether you’re supporting a child at home, navigating classroom challenges, or simply learning to celebrate differences, these resources are grounded in lived experience and evidence-informed approaches.
