ience of being neurodivergent and her work experiences she believes more must be done to better support adults with dyslexia, especially in the workplace. As such, re:think dyslexia was born a for purpose company here to create more inclusive and accepting environments for dyslexics. re:think dyslexia is a global leader which will influence intergenerational change so adults with dyslexia are never left behind. Our mission is to create inclusive environments that enable adults with dyslexia to live healthier, happier and more connected lives. We do this by providing:

Coaching for dyslexic individuals and business owners, and those working with dyslexic employees such as managers
Workplace assessments for dyslexic employees
Organisational consulting
Workplace training
Research with La Trobe University
Our work is developed and delivered by those with a lived experience of dyslexia and other neurodivergence. It is grounded in and informed by evidence-based Australian first research conducted by us in partnership with La Trobe University. re:think dyslexia is proud to partner with the Dear Dyslexic Foundation. DDF is a dyslexic-led grass-roots charity founded seven years ago by Shae. Its vision was and is to empower people with dyslexia to reach their full potential. DDF undertakes advocacy work and in time will provide funding support through the Meerkat Fund set up in honour of Shae’s mum who, as a School Principal, educator and parent of dyslexic children, was a fierce advocate and leader for improving outcomes for those with dyslexia. Vicky is now DDF’s Dyslexia Champion, and the fund has been set up for families and individuals to access assessments, early interventions, and educational assistance. Something Vicky strongly believed should be available for everyone in our community, especially the most financially vulnerable.

✨ Understanding the three Dyss - Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia in adulthood ✨

This month we are exploring what it really means to understand learning difficulties.

In this episode, Dr Shae is joined by Michael from his brilliant podcast Dyscastia, to unpack dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia in a way that challenges how we think and talk about them.

Michael shares his journey of late identification, his work supporting neurodivergent learners, and the tools he’s developed to better meet students where they are.

Labels like “disability” or “difficulty” can help us unlock support, shape identity, and build confidence.

How do labels like “disability” or “difficulty” impact you?

We’re excited our director Dr Shae Marie Wissell will be sharing the stage with Georgia Miller, Manager of JobAccess at the Disability Employment Australia Conference 2026 in Adelaide this month.

Together, Georgia and Shae will be presenting on
What Works at Work: How Individualised Support Unlocks Neurodivergent Talent

Neurodivergent employees face higher psychosocial risks at work not because of who they are, but because workplaces are often not designed with them in mind.
In this session, they will explore:
• Why these risks exist
• How job design and systems can increase burnout
• What practical, evidence-based supports actually work using the JobAccess program

Most importantly we’ll share real, scalable strategies that help organisations reduce risk, support wellbeing, and unlock the strengths of neurodivergent talent.

This is about redesigning work not people.

🧠 What does psychological safety actually look like?
It looks like people feeling comfortable to:
• have difficult conversations
• say when something isn’t working
• ask for support
• speak up about their needs
It means:
✔️ no fear of retaliation
✔️ no being shut down
✔️ no judgement
✔️ being listened to and taken seriously
Psychological safety is not just about being “nice”.
It’s about creating a workplace where people can be honest — and still feel safe.
Because when people feel safe, they:
• contribute more
• share ideas
• solve problems together
• stay and grow
This is what we mean when we talk about reducing psychosocial hazards.

We work with organisations to build practical, evidence-informed strategies that support neurodivergent employees and strengthen whole teams.

✨ Two powerful weeks with young neurodivergent people in Banyule ✨

Over the past two weeks, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside young neurodivergent people from across Banyule City Council with Will Martin who is amazing to work with.

Together, we’ve been exploring the barriers they face in employment and what actually helps when applying for jobs that align with their interests and developing skill sets.

What we heard was honest, and at times, hard.

It’s tough out there right now for young people particularly those whose education and transition pathways were disrupted by COVID. Many shared how difficult it has been trying to move from secondary school into TAFE or university without the right support or structures in place. This has made it even harder to build skills and continue their learning and social connections.

Layered on top of this is the reality of job searching:�
👉 Repeated applications�
👉 Little to no feedback�
👉 No job outcomes

Over time, this leads to burnout, frustration, and a deep sense of being let down. And yet every young person we worked with wants to work.�They want meaningful opportunities.�They want to build skills.�They want a fair chance.

Creating space to sit, listen and learn from them has been a huge privilege. Together, we’re beginning to unpack the systemic barriers they face not just in getting a job, but in sustaining meaningful employment.

This is why co-design matters.�Because the solutions need to come from those experiencing these barriers every day.
