Jouré – Neurodiversity Specialist, Educator & Advocate

With over 20 years of experience in the field of neurodiversity, Jouré is a dedicated expert in understanding, supporting, and advocating for neurodivergent individuals. As the founder of Help My Child, she has developed a range of internationally accredited courses that equip professionals, educators, and parents with the tools they need to foster inclusive environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive.

Her work is driven by a deep commitment to shifting the conversation around neurodiversity—moving from a deficit-based approach to a strength-focused perspective. Through research-backed training, she empowers businesses, therapists, and educators to see the unique skills and abilities that neurodivergent individuals bring to society.

A Leader in Neurodiversity Education

Jouré’s courses cover critical topics, including:

  • Neurodiversity in the Workplace – Helping businesses recognise the value of hiring and supporting neurodivergent employees.
  • Executive Function & Emotion Regulation – Equipping professionals with strategies to assist individuals who struggle with self-regulation, organisation, and focus.
  • Understanding ADHD, Autism, and Sensory Processing – Providing research-based, practical approaches to supporting neurodivergent children and adults.

Her training programs are internationally CPD accredited, making them a trusted resource for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of neurodivergent needs.

Advocacy & Industry Impact

Beyond education, Jouré is a thought leader in the field of neurodiversity. Her insights are sought after by corporate organisations, recruitment agencies, therapists, and educators looking to create more inclusive environments. She actively works to challenge outdated narratives, particularly in the workplace, where neurodivergent talent remains underutilised.

Her recent work includes:

  • Collaborating with South African recruitment agencies to promote inclusive hiring practices for neurodivergent employees.
  • Writing and speaking about the challenges boys face in the education system, particularly regarding the misunderstanding of ADHD and its link to behavioural difficulties.
  • Developing a groundbreaking new course that will reshape the way people approach neurodiversity support and advocacy.

A Practical, Solutions-Based Approach

What sets Jouré apart is her ability to take complex research and turn it into practical, actionable strategies. Many individuals who have taken her courses—whether after receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis themselves or in search of ways to support others—have found them to be life-changing.

She firmly believes that knowledge should be accessible to everyone and that understanding neurodiversity should not be reserved for specialists alone. Her work continues to bridge the gap between research and real-world application, ensuring that those who need support the most can access the right tools and strategies.

Looking Ahead

Jouré remains at the forefront of neurodiversity education and advocacy, constantly developing new content, collaborating with experts, and expanding the reach of her training. Through Help My Child, she continues to empower individuals, reshape workplace policies, and drive meaningful change in education and professional sectors.
