In our fourth installment of our education series we welcome Sam Pollock, Director and Inclusion Consultant for SP Specialist Inclusion Services. Sam supports children, families, teachers and schools in creating inclusive and supportive learning environments, through 1:1 work, group programs and professional development.
Sam shares her passionate, grounded and research-based perspectives on our education system; relationship building between teachers, children and families; working with individual children's needs and balancing those within a classroom; the impacts we are feeling and some we are yet to fully experience from the pandemic; Universal Design for Learning and how it can shift our ideas on what it means to cater to individual needs.

Join Patricia Falcetta (Social Living Solutions) and Sammy Anne (Map the Maze) as they discuss Nurturing Neurodiversity; all the ways we can create a truly inclusive society.
Our passion lies in supporting whole families to navigate the challenges and revel in the joys of their neurodiverse children. A big part of this support entails advocating for changes within our systems and society, to ensure our children grow up knowing and loving who they are. No matter our ability, race, gender, sexuality, beliefs – we all deserve to be loved and appreciated.
We aim to educate, connect and inspire. We do this by sharing with you our stories, experiences and relevant research, along with neurodiverse voices through interviews and quotes with permission. We open dialogue on what we can all do to create positive social change.
With backgrounds in the education and allied health industries, as well as experience working directly with families, we work within AND continually challenge the existing systems we all operate under. We wholeheartedly believe that if we can all open our minds and our hearts, share the message of love and equity for all, that we will be part of creating a truly inclusive world for generations to come.
We hope you will join us on our journey.
