Welcome to ID Inclusion
Samantha Morgan, BSc (Hons), GMBPsS
Inclusion & Impact Consultant | Creator of the ACB Framework | Policy Reformer
Who is Samantha Morgan?
Many consultants offer training focused on neurodivergence or disability in isolation.
Samantha’s work goes further.
She applies an intersectional, systems-informed approach that examines how overlapping factors such as disability, neurodivergence, trauma, poverty, chronic illness and instability interact with organisational structures to shape experiences of inequity and barriers to access. Working with universities, housing providers and charities to help them understand and respond to complex, intersecting barriers affecting the people they serve.
Combining lived experience, critical psychology and practitioner insight she translates complexity into clear practical understanding that informs policy, strategy and service design.
Rather than focusing on labels or prescriptive strategies, she explores the relationship between individual experience and institutional design. This social–individual interface is often where hidden barriers sit.

Why this work is needed
Many barriers people face are invisible, but their impact is reflected in national data:
Disabled people are 30% less likely to be employed (ONS, 2022)
77% of autistic adults want work; only 30% are employed
Nearly half of autistic adults experience harm at work (Nicholls, 2025)
Disabled adults are three times more likely to hold no qualifications
Autistic graduates are twice as likely to be unemployed
These outcomes do not reflect individual capability- they reflect systems designed without complexity in mind.
When complexity is ignored, people fall through gaps. When it is recognised, people thrive.

Testimonials
Samantha was exceptional in sharing her lived experiences to help develop an in-depth understanding of the challenges underrepresented students face within education
Samantha was my mentor. I greatly valued Samantha's honesty and openness in sharing her lived experiences, including the barriers she has faced. Despite these, she has persisted and achieved so much. Samantha is passionate about driving change and making a difference for others. Her sharing of her own experiences, along with her questioning skills and drive to seek out change, has been inspiring and is leaving a lasting impact
Samantha Made Valuable contributions to the tuition-focused blog. Contributing to blogs can be a daunting task, especially when focused towards an academic audience. Samantha was brave, creative and timely with her contributions, always willing to consider how content could be leveraged in the most effective way to portray her ideas.
Sharing their experiences is helpful for me to think about my own experiences and any preconceived thoughts I may have. This in turn, has already led me to reflect on interactions with colleagues and what I could do differently to get the most out of the relationships. It has made me challenge my own views, as I was a little more black and white with my knowledge of different neurodiversity! II had no idea how neurodiversity would interact with each other!
