About Morgan Attride-Stirling

Hello! My name is Morgan, and I am the founding director and lead educator at Neurokind ✨ I am keen to connect and collaborate with other professionals in the field so please do feel free get in touch!

Neurokind provides specialist community-based education, bespoke play sessions and personalised family support for neurodivergent and disabled children. All sessions are tailor-made to support the individual needs of each child and their family and are delivered by a qualified teacher (who is also neurodivergent). We specialise in working with nursery and primary-aged children with complex needs including autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, developmental delays, as well as speech and language difficulties/disorders. As neurodiversity-affirming practitioners, we:

  • see each and every child as a unique individual worthy of respect and dignity
  • follow a strengths-based approach to learning stemming from the child's personal interests
  • believe neurodivergent children should have the opportunity to be taught by neurodivergent adults
  • firmly believe in child-led learning through play
  • value connection over compliance and always prioritise emotional regulation
  • celebrate all forms of communication while advocating for greater access to AAC
  • see ‘behaviour’ as a form of communication or expression of an unmet need
  • encourage bodily autonomy and always respect personal boundaries
