With over 40 years combined experience, we teach and support children who learn differently and guide teachers to accommodate their needs in the classroom - providing advice, interventions, and hands-on training.
We are also parents and know about the challenges of having a child navigate the schooling system, especially if there are learning barriers and academic challenges.
We’re passionate about learning and love sharing what we know — from understanding learning barriers to spotting signs of anxiety, autism, ADHD, and more.
We are SACE accredited providers and offer mentoring, training, and workshops tailored to your school’s unique needs. Our sessions are practical, engaging, and relevant.
About Me
I'm Dr. Philippa Fabbri, an experienced educator with a Doctorate in Inclusive Education and a passion for helping children who struggle in traditional school systems.
I work closely with parents of neurodiverse learners—children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences—who need tailored support to thrive academically and emotionally.
As co-founder of Elsen Academy, established in 2005, my goal is to prevent bright, capable children from being left behind due to a mismatch with conventional education.
As both an educator and parent, I’ve walked the road of searching for learning solutions that respect a child’s unique needs.
I’m on a mission to help families find clarity, confidence, and real progress through inclusive education, individualised support plans, and advocacy for meaningful learning experiences.
