Sara-Louise Ackrill is a Neurodivergent Entrepreneur and Workplace Consultant; Therapist, Coach and Author. She was a finalist at the Neurodiverse Business Awards ‘Innovator of the Year 2026’ award.
Sara is neurodivergent herself (Autism, ADHD, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia and Sensory Processing Disorder) and works with professionals and entrepreneurs in these areas:
A former disability and employment specialist with a background in recruitment and hiring, Sara-Louise is dedicated to communicating the realities of being neurodivergent and how organisations can move beyond compliance towards more meaningful inclusion.
Sara-Louise understands that inclusion sits at the intersection of many identities: gender, race, age, disability, social class, culture and beyond. She works with compassion toward both neurodivergent individuals and employers who are navigating this landscape without a roadmap, arming them with the knowledge to meaningfully attract, support and retain neurodivergent talent across all generations.
Sara delivers her work through a range of formats including one-to-one consultancy, clinics and group workshops, tailored to the needs of your organisation.
“Your talk today was very informative and so helpful. I will modify many things that I do as a facilitator thanks to the new understanding that I gained.”
“It was honestly great to hear you speak yesterday… hearing your take on the topic of neurodiversity along with your own experiences was powerful.”
“Totally blown away by Sara’s keynote speech. She was warmly invited to our Equality, Diversity Inclusion Away Day 2022 at the University of East London. Her speech describing her lived experience of being wired differently was just so inspiring and honest. This is the start of our association with Wired Differently – look forward to having Sara back to speak to our students at our Career Zones in the next academic year.”
