Natalie Nicholls
Learning and Education Development Specialist
Founder and Director, PLECS Learning
Natalie Nicholls is a respected child learning and development specialist and the founder of the PLECS Whole-Child Approach ‘a neuroscience-informed intervention designed specifically for children aged 5 - 12 experiencing learning, behavioural, developmental, or emotional challenges.
With over 20 years of experience and postgraduate qualifications in Special Education (including Specific Learning Difficulties), alongside a Master’s in Cognitive Psychology, Natalie is an expert in the field of whole-child intervention. Her unique approach integrates the latest research in brain development, cognition, and emotional wellbeing to address the mind, brain, and body foundations that underpin a child’s ability to thrive.
Since launching in 2021, the PLECS Approach has consistently delivered measurable, transformative outcomes for children with diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Developmental Delay, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and a wide range of learning difficulties. The program supports core areas including emotional regulation, executive functioning, social communication, attention, memory, comprehension, academic improvement, and overall wellbeing.
At the heart of PLECS is a three-tiered model that combines:
Natalie understands that attending face-to-face sessions may not always be easy and as a mum of three she deeply respects the unique circumstances each family faces. However, the PLECS program is deliberately designed as a comprehensive, in-person intervention. The hands-on nature of the work focusing on physical interaction, real-time feedback, and integrated activities targeting the nervous system, cognitive processing, and emotional regulation cannot yet be replicated online with the same effectiveness or long-term results.
Its proven success relies on the consistency, depth, and multi-environment collaboration that in-person delivery enables. Children in the program have shown remarkable improvements in anxiety, social skills, academic engagement, comprehension, reasoning, confidence, memory, organisation, and more all stemming from this carefully structured, whole-child methodology.
