Sarah Ailish McLoughlin

Director, EduLinked — Founder & lead facilitator for Future-Ready

Sarah is a program designer and practitioner focused on accessible service and digital inclusion for small businesses and education providers. As Director of EduLinked (and EduPsyched), she leads roadmap-driven initiatives — including Strategic Self-Advocacy (SSA™), AAC-informed practice and the Future-Ready curriculum — that translate practical, evidence-based accessibility into measurable business outcomes.

Sarah's approach emphasises co-design with people with lived experience, low-cost/high-impact fixes (digital and front-of-house), and clear evaluation so small businesses can demonstrate improvements to customers and local partners. Her recent work includes designing and delivering hybrid and online-first learning pathways, advisory clinics, and pilot models that produce council-ready evidence briefs and postcode-level inclusion signals for local planning.

  • Focus areas: Accessible program design, AAC & SSA™ practice, digital inclusion, business-facing pilots
  • Delivery strengths: practical, low-stress learning (online-first), co-design facilitation, measurable evaluation
  • Partner experience: councils, Chambers, NDIA/local disability services and local business networks

Speaker note: "I design programs so accessibility becomes a practical advantage — small, everyday changes that open doors for customers, staff and community."
