About us

The Founders and Directors of Inicio SES Ltd have lived experience of neurodivergence themselves, as well as experience of raising children with SEN and supporting them through their educations and into the workplace. Their journeys have each presented unique challenges.

We are in the unique position of bringing extensive experience in SEN teaching, lived experience of supporting our own children with SEN and experience of supporting adults with SEN in a corporate environment.

This means we are able to create bespoke services based on experience, knowledge and feedback from previous clients.

We are passionate about making sure children and young people get the education they deserve, and that adults with learning differences have equal access to the careers they wish to pursue.

Equity, individuality, determination to strive and to thrive
