Public Speaking

Whether you are looking for a keynote, workshop presenter or presentation for your team away day, I can offer bespoke talks around neurodivergence and access to support you to increase accessibility for neurodivergent visitors, staff, volunteers and freelancers. 

Topics I have previously covered are:

  • ​Working with people with lived experience,

  • Creating inclusive working environments,

  • Access Audits,

  • Practical Guide to creating visual stories, 

  • Workforce Wellbeing, 

  • Making organisations more accessible for children and young people.

Behind her is a screen with a slide which has a white background with black writing reading Top Tips 1. Avoid making assumptions. On the right is the logos of Great North Museum Hancock, Emily, Autism and Me and GEM in order from top to bottom.

Testimonial:

"Emily’s session was interesting and informative and gave a fresh perspective for addressing access for neurodivergent people in education and engagement spaces. Emily sensitively shared her personal experiences in a clear and engaging way and gave the team a really useful framework for reviewing the access needs of our visitors and staff alike."
