ABOUT CHRISSA WADLOW
Are you looking to inspire your community or improve inclusivity within your workplace or team?Through my work leading multi-award winning SEND consultancy \'Sunshine Support\', I have inspired thousands of people to think differently about inclusivity, seeking justice and improving standards within education, health, care and the workplace.In 2024 alone, my team and I have coached, advised and inspired more than parents and more than professionals all over the UK.Topics I typically present to groups of varying sizes:* How to achieve SEND justice as a parent* Business growth and management of a neurodivergent team* How to effectively support parents and carers; as a co-worker or paediatric professional* Neurodivergence * Special Educational Needs and Disabilities* Mental Health & Wellbeing* Leading a neurodivergent team* Improving inclusivity at work and school* Inspirational, honest and raw parent journey for SEND justice* Neurodivergent parenting of Neurodivergent childrenAnd many other topics - I\'m open to discussion if you have something specific you\'d like me to talk about.I am a very proud, neurodivergent mother of 4 children who never runs out of energy when it comes to justice seeking. I am known for my energetic presentations and key notes, and I love nothing more than inspiring others to do what\'s right. I provide a safe space for everyone who comes into my orbit; especially loved ones and my co-workers. Safety and connection is vital in my work.I lead a team of more than 20 employees from our head office in Derby and remotely all over the UK, and I\'m proud to be a disability friendly employer with an enormously diverse team. I adore family time; quality connection is key to me. We spend most summers overseas, and adore eating out at great restaurants all over the UK.Thins that I adore:* My four daughters and husband* Singing - I am a very keen singer* Good food - I love visiting Michelin restaurants, and would love some recommendations!* My work - it\'s my life and I love that!* Therapy - I recommend it!* Justice - I can\'t escape the message of equity and justice; it\'s my life.
