Niki Zelend is the founder of SNI SULI, Hungary's learning and streaming
platform for neurodivergent children and the adults around them, and the
initiator of the Neurodiverse Academy. A teacher, communications
professional and certified autism consultant, she has become a
nationally recognised advocate for children with special educational
needs. SNI SULI won Hungary's Website of the Year award in the Education
category, and her TEDx talk brought the subject to a wider audience.

Her work started at home. After her own child was diagnosed with ADHD
and autism, she experienced first-hand how lonely it is to raise a child
the system labels as "different". She believes every child deserves to
shine in their own way, and that the world needs more compassion,
because our job is to lift each other up.
