Naomi Fisher is a clinical psychologist with a PhD in autism. She works clinically with families
whose children do not go to school or who are unhappy at school. She is the mother of two young people who have never been to conventional school and is a recognised expert in neurodiversity and self-directed education.

A really important book giving a platform to the many SEND families who have been largely unheard in the education debate. As always Naomi offers us a fresh perspective on intersection of neurodiversity, learning and environment. A must read for anyone interested in education, psychology or the wonderful diversity of humanity. Highly recommended.--Kezia Cantwell-Wright, BA Hons, Founder of East Kent Sudbury, Administrator at Sands School

In "A Different Way To Learn" Naomi Fisher builds on the scientific base of her earlier work "Changing Our Minds." She illuminates routes to self-directed learning that are effective in eliminating the coercion and anxiety generated by much conventional 'schooling.' I wish that I had read this book before becoming a parent and a teacher! She is a passionate voice for all children not just those defined as neuro-diverse.--Derry Hannam, retired Deputy Headteacher, Inspector, international campaigner/researcher for Student Voice - author of 'Another Way Is Possible: Becoming a Democratic Teacher in a State School

Everyone knows the mainstream education system doesn't work for everyone, but most people don't realise there is an alternative. In this invaluable book, Naomi Fisher guides us through the world of self-directed education. It should be required reading for all educators, young people and their parents and carers - anyone who has ever wondered if another way is possible. Because it's not just possible. It's already happening...--Dr James Mannion, Director, Rethinking Education and co-author of Fear is the Mind Killer with Kate McAllister
