Georgina Smith is a specialist dyslexia tutor, author of Code Breakers and the creator of ND360 Hub—an inclusive platform designed to connect neurodivergent people and their families with trusted professionals, services and resources.

ND360 Hub provides a searchable register through which parents and carers can find the support they need, while enabling professionals to network, share their expertise and increase the visibility of their work. The platform also includes professional networking and marketing opportunities alongside a monthly magazine featuring practical information, specialist contributions and lived-experience perspectives.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Talk, Georgina joins Libby Hill to discuss the thinking behind ND360 Hub, the importance of making reliable support easier to find and the value of building stronger connections across the neurodivergent community.

Libby interviews Lyndsay Critchlow founder of Education For All. Lyndsay is a neurodivergent parent to 3 neurodivergent boys. She has been through things that people could only imagine to get to where she is today. From fighting for support all the way through to fighting for school placements.

Lyndsay says, "I became an advocate in 2021 to support families to navigate through the systems and gain the support and help they need. I strongly believe my job is not to tell families what to do or take over their voices but to be there to support and ensure that they are heard. I believe Advocacy is supporting them to have their own voice and to ensure that they are making the choices of what they want and need in their lives. I advise every option available and then support them down their chosen path. I love the work that I do my only wish would be to be able to help more."

Lyndsay is also an author of 4 books about PDA with more to come:

Libby discusses Selective Mutism with Anna Biavati, and Anna's new book, My Brain Land. Anna is a well-respected, very experienced, highly specialist speech and language therapist who works with children with selective mutism. She is also passionate about helping fellow therapists who feel stuck in their practice go from feeling overwhelmed and ineffective with managing selective mutism to confidently applying a safe, brain-based, and connection-led framework. This empowers them to support children to naturally communicate, restoring both their passion for their profession and alignment with their values.

Anna has written a children's book 'My Brain Land' which is a delightful, heartfelt story which introduces children to the connection between emotions, the body, and communication in a gentle, child-friendly way.

Anna has also created My Brain Land Adventures—a fun monthly online session where children learn about their amazing brains, build confidence, and realise they're not alone in their worries. Even better, for every two tickets sold, one copy of My Brain Land is donated to a school or hospital, helping even more children understand anxiety and their emotions.
