I sit down with Reah, a former SENCO who has worked closely with local authorities and is now a full-time SEN advocate, particularly for minority communities in the UK. Through her company Inspire 321, she is committed to ensuring that neurodivergent individuals and their families receive the support they need.Our conversation explores the intersection of race and neurodiversity—how cultural backgrounds and personal experiences can shape the way neurodiverse needs are perceived, both within families and by professionals. Reah shares powerful insights on how these differences can sometimes create barriers to diagnosis, support, and understanding, as well as what we can do to challenge these disparities.We also discuss the significant mismatch in representation when it comes to accessing NHS and private services, why this is happening, and how it impacts families from different communities. Reah sheds light on the systemic challenges that exist and what meaningful advocacy can look like when fighting for fair and accessible support.This conversation really opened my eyes to aspects of SEN advocacy that I hadn’t fully considered before, and I’m so grateful for Reah’s perspective. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply someone wanting to better understand these issues, this episode is full of important takeaways that will help you reflect on the bigger picture of neurodiversity and inclusion.If you enjoyed this episode, I’d love for you to subscribe, rate, and leave a review—it helps more people find the show.
