<p>Lara’s journey from personal experience to systemic change began with one powerful aim: to create spaces where everyone – especially neurodivergent individuals – can feel safe, included, and heard.</p>

Changing the Game: Inclusion, Agency & Belonging

<h2><strong>What to expect</strong></h2><p>In this EXceptional Student interview, Lara shares insights from her Master’s in Change &amp; Organisational Resilience, where she explored how psychological safety can transform participation and engagement for neurodivergent individuals in both education and workplace settings.</p><p>Guided by her lived experience as an undiagnosed autistic individual and now a parent of a neurodivergent teen, Lara co-designed her research to ensure participants’ voices and lived experiences were at the heart of the findings. She’ll discuss the creation of Gamechangers League – a space that champions play, learning, and growth – and the strategies she’s put into practice since completing her degree, including building inclusive cultures, breaking down systemic barriers, and reframing neurodiversity as a strength.</p><h2><strong>This is for anyone who</strong></h2><ul><li><p>Wants to understand what psychological safety looks like through a neurodivergent lens</p></li><li><p>Is curious about how inclusive practices can be embedded in real-world contexts</p></li><li><p>Believes in the power of co-design and lived experience to drive meaningful change</p></li><li><p>Works in education, leadership, or community settings and wants to foster belonging for all.</p></li></ul>
