Transforming inclusive education through proactive support.
At We are includED, we specialise in proactive behaviour and communication approaches to inclusive education - building the skills, habits and shared language that make confident, compassionate practice part of everyday life in schools and colleges.

Our team doesn't just provide training. We work alongside you to design holistic strategies that reduce restrictive practices and significantly improve your learners' quality of life. We help specialist and mainstream environments evolve into places where neurodivergent children and young people experience the safety, structure and optimism they need to thrive.

Rebekah

Behaviour Analyst| UKBA(cert) #101203 | Trainer & Consultant
 The focus of all my work is through building positive relationships, practice leadership and appropriate system-wide support mechanisms.  

For Rebekah, true inclusion begins with listening. Her work is completely grounded in a person-centred approach, focusing on giving young people as much autonomy as possible over their own lives and learning.

With a rich background in therapeutic support, learning disability and mental health nursing and community-based positive behaviour support, Rebekah looks at the whole picture.

Core Specialisms:
  • Developing bespoke curriculum and structural support mechanisms for learners with significant social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.

  • Re-engaging learners who have previously struggled to access education.

  • Teaching practical skills that empower young people to navigate their world confidently.

Hayley

Behaviour Analyst| UKBA(cert) #101323 | Trainer & Consultant
 I am passionate about implementing proactive, values-led approaches that promote autonomy and reduce barriers to learning.  

Hayley believes that every young person deserves a meaningful way to engage with their education and community. Her approach to positive behaviour support is inherently values-led, focusing on emotional regulation, independence and skill development.

Having spent years working closely with autistic children and young adults aged 3 to 25, she understands that creating an inclusive school requires a shared language.


Core Specialisms:


  • Empowering educators, parents and caregivers with practical, evidence-based tools.

  • Facilitating family involvement to fully meet the needs of the learner.

  • Dismantling barriers to learning in education environments to ensure every learner has the chance to succeed.

Sarah

She brings extensive experience in integrating speech and language therapy across specialist primary, secondary and further education settings, ensuring support is seamlessly embedded into the daily school routine.


Core Specialisms:


  • Crafting school-wide universal communication strategies.
