Events, Presentations, Keynotes & Workshops

What I offer, how to book, upcoming and past events, plus some testmonials!

Author Story Time

My favourite thing to do is read my books at libraries and community events, where I have the opportunity to connect directly.

For every one of my books, I create 2 free activities that amplify my message - so I come with more than just stories, but activities too!

Mini Author Workshop for Schools

One of the most common questions / comments I get about being a published author is “how do you BECOME an author” or “I want to be an author too!” There is literally no age cut off for these comments either (maybe worded differently- but you get what I mean).

So I created a workshop - for all ages! Find out more about this service I offer!

Presentations

My biggest passion - talking about neuroinclusivity and neuroaffirming practices. Whether it’s schools, homes, or workplaces - I love to explain that accomodating for neurodivergent individuals doesn’t break the budget AND it is actually beneficial for all!

Tips, suggestions, Q+As, and a first hand, lived experience point of view presented lightly and fun.

Past Events & Testimonials

  • Speaking alongside Madhavi Nawana Parker and Nikki Wadewitz, it was a day of connection reflection and understanding, giving me the most wonderful opportunity to talk about what it is like to navigate the world as a Neurodivergent person through a lived experience lens, then following with another presentation on my developing reflection on what being resilient truly means and how we perceive resilience.

    Madhavi gave a phenomenal presentation about the importance of co-regulation and emotional support to both ourselves and children.

    Nikki’s presentation gave great insight to how lacking teacher education is for real world application, and that behaviour is communicating needs - meeting kids where they are is crucial.

    • “Amazing group of people, loved all the speakers at their Neurodivergence Wellbeing Summit - one of the best events l've been to. Thank you!” - Kerryn

    • “Really engaging summit - heartwarming, informative and funny presenters. From the insightful lived experience stories of the celebrated author, Nell Harris, to the stand up comedy worthy, self deprecating humour - that had the room in stitches - of Nikki Wadewitz, there wasn't a moment that wasn't filled with rich insight and knowledge to help educators, specialists and parents alike in their journeys to help and support our neurodivergent youth. None of this would have been possible without the leadership and boundless enthusiasm of Madhavi Nawana Parker - who not only presented her own delightfully engaging and immensely useful material, but also put together such a successful event. Finally, Katie O'Reilly carried the whole team through with her excellent MC'ing and I felt the love in the team as they bounced off each other as only true friends (who are also colleagues) do.” - Annalisa

  • “What an amazing job you did with the staff last week. You always have such a great impact and I know everyone walked away being inspired.” - Simon

    “Thanks again for your visit today. What a wonderful way to start our week celebrating neurodiversity and inclusion.” - Jacqui

"You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."
