Biography
Catrina Lowri founded Neuroteachers with a clear mission: to help schools, nurseries, and colleges create simple, sustainable solutions for truly neuro-inclusive practice. As a neurodivergent educator herself, diagnosed with dyslexia and bipolar disorder, and with traits of ADHD, dyspraxia, and auditory processing disorder (APD), Catrina brings a rare and powerful blend of lived experience and professional insight to her work.
With over 27 years of pupil-facing experience as a qualified special needs teacher, SENCO/ALNCO, and advisory teacher, she understands the real-world challenges educators face. Her approach is practical, empathetic, and rooted in the belief that small changes can lead to big transformations in behaviour, attendance, and academic outcomes for students of all neurotypes.
Through Neuroteachers, Catrina and her team deliver impactful training, mentoring, and coaching, driving culture change across educational and workplace settings. She has also worked closely with parent carer organisations throughout her career and is a passionate advocate for co-production ensuring families and educators work together to build inclusive, empowering environments for every learner.
