empirical, neuro-affirming principles and practices supporting neurodivergence in education, the workplace and the family
WE SEE YOU
A World That Works for Every Brain
‘There is much less to fix, than to understand.’
Founded by Maggie and Mark Rait after 25 years in global education, health, social care and employability, The Neuro-Affirming Partnership drives systemic, whole-person change. We guide schools, organisations, individuals and families to embed neuro-affirming, evidence-based practices that result in true inclusion.
How we do it:
Specialist Neurodiversity Consultancy
Neurodiversity Coaching & Mentoring
Neurodiversity Education & CPD Training
-
for schools:
Today’s families expect exceptional, neuro-affirming education and pastoral care. We partner day and boarding schools, and global tutor agencies, to embed evidence-based, neuro-affirming cultures across the entire educational ecosystem.
Our neuro-affirming CPD and INSET for staff and management aligns academic, pastoral and behavioural approaches with neuro-affirming best practice.
-
for tutors:
Academic tutoring can stall for neurodivergent students with executive dysfunction, PDA, time blindness or shame related to learning differences.
We support private tutor companies and parents to embed neuro-affirming principles and practices rooted in psychological safety. This informed, person-centred approach enables neurodivergent students to move from surviving to thriving.
-
for families:
An integrated approach enhances educational outcomes. High-pressure schooling with a neurodivergent child can leave families feeling isolated, misunderstood, and exhausted.
Specialist psychoeducation and targeted family support helps parents implement neuro-affirming approaches, creating a common language and cultivating greater trust, transparency, and collaboration.
