Expertise in Diverse Educational Systems

Our team has extensive experience working with schools globally, allowing us to understand and adapt to:

  • Varying cultural norms and expectations around education and inclusion.
  • Differing curricula, from IB and British systems to American Common Core and beyond.
  • Unique challenges of transient student populations in international schools.

This breadth of knowledge enables us to create solutions that align with each school’s cultural, academic, and logistical realities.

Integration of Local and Global Perspectives

  • International schools exist at the intersection of local culture and global standards.
  • Conducting cultural assessments to align neuroinclusive practices with the host country’s values and norms.
  • Ensuring policies and practices meet international standards while respecting local nuances.
  • Bridging cultural gaps between educators, parents, and students to foster understanding and collaboration.

Tailored Strategies for Inclusive Admissions

  • International schools often attract a diverse student body with varying needs.
  • Design admissions processes that are inclusive of neurodiverse students without compromising academic standards.
  • Train admissions teams to identify and support neurodiverse learners during enrollment.
  • Develop communication strategies to engage parents, ensuring alignment between school and family expectations.

Specialized Training for Faculty and Staff

International teachers often come from diverse professional backgrounds and may not have specialized training in neurodiversity.

We provide:

  • Workshops on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to support differentiated instruction.
  • Training in culturally responsive teaching, ensuring inclusivity across diverse classroom settings.
  • Resources and techniques for identifying and addressing neurodiverse needs in real-time.

Focus on Sustainability

Many consulting firms offer short-term solutions.

We prioritize sustainability by:

  • Designing programs that fit within existing school budgets and resources.
  • Building capacity within schools through training and mentorship.
  • Creating policies and frameworks that can evolve with the school’s needs over time.

Experience with Transient and Multicultural Populations

International schools cater to highly mobile student bodies, which can include neurodiverse learners with diverse educational histories.

We address these challenges by:

  • Developing individualized support plans for students transitioning between schools.
  • Helping schools create robust onboarding and continuity systems for neurodiverse learners.
  • Training educators to adapt quickly to new students’ needs and profiles.

Global Network and Resources

Our extensive network includes partnerships with leading neurodiversity experts, educators, and researchers worldwide.

This allows us to:

  • Provide schools with access to cutting-edge research and best practices.
  • Facilitate collaboration between international schools to share strategies and insights.
  • Connect schools with specialists for ongoing support and development.

Commitment to Whole-School Transformation

We understand that true inclusion requires systemic change.

Our approach involves:

  • Evaluating every aspect of the school system, from classroom practices to leadership policies.
  • Designing inclusive environments that benefit all students, not just those with identified needs.
  • Aligning neuroinclusive practices with the school’s mission, vision, and values.

Alignment with Global Education Trends

The demand for neuroinclusion is growing rapidly in international education.

Our work aligns with:

  • Global movements for equity, diversity, and inclusion in education.
  • UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4: Quality Education), which emphasize inclusive and equitable education for all.
  • The increasing expectations of parents seeking schools that celebrate and support neurodiversity.
