Lane Anthony
Author | Educationist | Neuro Specialist
Born in West Yorkshire and raised in London, Lane Anthony is a distinguished author, educationist, and Neuro Specialist whose career has been dedicated to transforming the educational landscape for over four decades. His work is propelled by a powerful and deeply personal mission: to reframe neurodiversity as a source of extraordinary strength and untapped potential. This perspective is uniquely informed by his own journey, which led to the discovery of his neurodivergent identity while authoring his first book, lending a profound authenticity to his advocacy.
An Ecosystem for Neuro-Inclusive Change
Lane has authored a cohesive trilogy of books that collectively form a comprehensive blueprint for societal change, guiding individuals and organisations from initial awareness to systemic implementation.
Autism a Superpower – An Awakening
As his foundational text, this book was written to challenge and dismantle outdated, deficit-based perceptions of autism. It serves as a compelling "awakening," inviting readers to recognise and celebrate the unique talents, creative perspectives, and inherent "superpowers" of neurodivergent minds.
The Dynamic Development Plan - A Strengths-based Blueprint for Pupil Support in UK Schools
Moving from philosophy to practice, this second book was compelled by the urgent need for an actionable framework within the education system. It provides educators, from Early Years teachers to university lecturers with a practical, strengths-based blueprint for identifying, nurturing, and planning for the success of neurodivergent pupils.
Awakening The Workforce: A Blueprint for Neuroinclusive Workplaces
The natural culmination of his work, this third book extends the principles from the classroom to the corporate world. It was written to guide businesses and organisations in creating genuinely neuro-inclusive environments where the diverse talents of every employee can be harnessed for innovation, productivity, and mutual success.
From Theory to Practice: Neurolearn
To ensure his frameworks translate into tangible, real-world impact, Lane founded Neurolearn.co.uk. This dedicated training platform serves as the implementation engine for his work, offering courses, resources, and practical support for professionals seeking to apply the principles of The Dynamic Development Plan and his wider neuro-inclusive strategies. Neurolearn empowers educators, leaders, and organisations with the skills and confidence required to build environments where every individual can thrive.
Currently pursuing his doctorate in educational psychology, Lane Anthony continues to deepen his expertise and contribute vital research to the field. His work is a testament to a lifetime commitment to ensuring that every mind is not just valued, but truly celebrated.
More Than a Wash
DECKACY and Eco Fresh Laundry Hub Launch a Community Change Initiative for the Century
The Eco Fresh Laundry Hub is not just a laundrette. It is a revolutionary new kind of neuro-inclusive community hub, built from the ground up to tackle social isolation and provide holistic support.

The Eco Fresh Laundry Hub, powered by its community and enriched by the creative heart of DECKACY, is more than an initiative—it’s a movement. And we are inviting you to be a part of it from the very beginning.
This is our chance to build a space that truly serves the whole person, the whole family, and the whole community. This is our chance to show the world what is possible when we connect our communities and, in doing so, connect lives.

A New Blueprint for Community Training
Neurolearn Online and DECKACY Partner to Deliver Neuro-divergent Training at the Revolutionary Eco Fresh Laundry Hub
At Neurolearn Online, our mission is to equip Neuro-coaches and Neuro-Support workers with the skills to make a real-world difference. But we've always asked: how do we bridge the gap between learning and living? How do we take training out of the classroom and into the heart of the community?
Today, we have the answer. We are proud to announce a landmark collaboration with our esteemed partners at DECKACY, the neurodiversity arts support charity. Together, we are launching a pioneering initiative to deliver a unique blend of neuro-divergent training styles and tools directly to the community, and we've found the perfect home for it: the Eco Fresh Laundry Hub CIC.
The Community as a Campus
The Eco Fresh Laundry Hub is a revolutionary new kind of neuro-inclusive community hub. For our partnership, it provides an unparalleled opportunity to create a 'living classroom'—a dynamic, real-world environment where support and learning happen organically.
Through this unique three-way partnership, our trainees will deliver support that is both structured and creative. They will apply the robust frameworks of Neurolearn's curriculum while utilising the expressive, arts-based tools championed by DECKACY. This hands-on experience is invaluable, allowing learners to understand the nuances of community support while being mentored by professionals from both organisations. It’s a model that benefits everyone: our trainees gain vital, holistic experience, and the community receives a richer, more engaging form of dedicated support.
This is the future of professional development—integrated, practical, and community-driven. Together with DECKACY and Eco Fresh, we are building not just a community space, but a pipeline for talented, compassionate, and skilled support workers who will go on to connect communities and transform lives.
