Kurt King is the co founder of Differences Not Disabilities, a UK based organisation providing training, education, and practical support for individuals, families, and professionals working with neurodivergent people and those with learning disabilities.

Kurt trained as a teacher and has extensive frontline experience supporting individuals with complex needs, including severe learning disabilities, trauma histories, and behaviours of distress. His work focuses on understanding behaviour as communication and translating evidence based behavioural models into practical strategies that can be used safely in real world situations.

Through Differences Not Disabilities, Kurt delivers training to parents, schools, and organisations on crisis prevention, de escalation, and behaviour support. His approach emphasises relationship building, trauma informed practice, and restraint reduction, helping professionals respond effectively while maintaining safety, dignity, and ethical practice.

Kurt is currently developing nationally recognised training aligned with the standards of the Restraint Reduction Network and the British Institute of Learning Disabilities. His work aims to bridge the gap between academic research and the realities faced by professionals supporting individuals in distress.

Alongside training and consultancy, Kurt is actively involved in community support initiatives for SEND families, providing education, advocacy, and practical guidance to improve outcomes for individuals and their support networks.
