About Us

Our Journey

Founder Will Wheeler, as a neurodistinct individual, encountered frustration while pursuing adult education due to a lack of understanding and support. His journey in VET education since 2009 revealed an industry desire to assist neurodistinct students, yet a notable deficiency in comprehension and knowledge for effective support.

Recognizing this gap, Will Wheeler, alongside co-founder Pratik Bhumkar, established Neurodiversity Academy, a social enterprise technology company. The primary objective of this academy is to enhance learning organizations' understanding of neurodiversity, bridging the gap between them and neurodistinct individuals. The aim is to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for neurodistinct students, fostering an atmosphere where they can comfortably pursue their career aspirations

Neurodiversity Academy, under the guidance of Will and Pratik, seeks to revolutionize the educational landscape, ensuring that neurodistinct individuals not only receive proper support but also find an environment that nurtures their unique strengths and talents. Through their advocacy and technological solutions, the academy endeavors to empower neurodistinct students to thrive in their educational journeys and achieve their professional dreams.
