Consulting
We work with universities, corporations, nonprofits, cultural institutions, tech innovators, and more to evaluate barriers and develop strategies for meaningful access and equity. Our consulting practice is rooted in the principles of neurodiversity justice and the social model of disability, centering the expertise of neurodivergent people to create systems that are not just inclusive but liberatory. Unlike surface-level diversity initiatives, our consulting is designed to spark systemic redesign, reshaping policies, practices, and culture to ensure that neurodivergent leadership and participation are not the exception, but the expectation.
Fish in a Tree consulting engagements are rigorous, collaborative, and tailored to each organization’s unique needs. We combine data-driven assessment with lived-experience expertise to identify hidden barriers, structural inequities, and missed opportunities for accessibility and inclusion. From governance models to recruitment pipelines, event design to healthcare delivery, our work supports organizations in creating sustainable change that aligns with their mission and values.
We partner with clients at every stage of the process: conducting accessibility audits, facilitating leadership trainings, designing equity-centered policies, and developing long-term strategies that embed neurodiversity competence throughout the organization. Our goal is not to deliver a checklist, but to transform culture, infrastructure, and practice in ways that honor the complexity of human difference.
