We are a team of educators, practitioners, and advocates working at the intersection of neurodiversity, learning, and lived experience.
Our work is rooted in a neuro-affirmative approach, where learning environments are shaped to fit the individual — not the other way around.
Across our work, we integrate education, lived experience, and everyday practices such as food, culture, and connection as meaningful pathways to learning.
Sandra Pugliese
Entrepreneur, Educator, Author and Founder
Sandra is the Founder and Director of Neurodiversity Learning and an entrepreneur driven by a strong commitment to rethinking how we understand learning, development, and human potential.
She works across education, food, publishing, and lived experience, creating concepts, learning environments, and approaches that challenge traditional systems and open up new ways of thinking, learning, and human connection.
As an educator, she focuses on online and non-traditional learning environments, including flexible and home-based education. She also teaches Danish to adults, including professionals, with a strong emphasis on adapting to individual needs and learning styles.
Sandra is the author of 23 cookbooks and has held numerous workshops and talks centered around food, health, and everyday life. In her work, food often becomes a natural and meaningful entry point into structure, connection, and learning.
As a mother of a neurodivergent child, she brings deep lived experience into her work. This has shaped her approach, with a strong focus on creating environments that support strengths, motivation, and long-term wellbeing.
Sandra has Danish and Italian roots and works internationally across cultural and educational contexts, collaborating with families, educators, and organisations in different countries.
