Lived experience
talks
Personal, thought-provoking talks informed by my lived experience of autism and dyslexia. I explore how everyday experiences, communication and design can create barriers—and what we can do to make them more inclusive.
Tailored to your team or event, each talk combines honest reflections with practical ideas to help people understand disability, challenge assumptions and take positive action.
Available online or face-to-face, with time for questions and discussion.

Understanding barriers through personal experience.
Accessibility starts with understanding how people experience the world. In my talks, I share personal insights into living and working as an autistic and dyslexic person, exploring how communication, environments and digital experiences can affect participation, confidence and belonging.
I connect those experiences to practical choices your organisation can make—from how you present information to how you support colleagues, customers and audiences. My perspective offers a starting point for discussion, while recognising that every disabled person’s experience is different.
Why book a talk?
Policies and checklists can guide organisations, but personal stories help people understand the impact of everyday barriers. These talks give your team space to question assumptions, reflect on their approach and recognise opportunities to make people feel more included.
