Welcome to Scribbled — where messy minds, big feelings, and life outside the lines are not just accepted, but celebrated.

Scribbled was created by Cindy Harrington, who saw firsthand that the school system isn’t working for many children — including her own. She witnessed families becoming exhausted from constantly navigating systems that don’t always understand their child or make the adjustments they need.

For parents juggling appointments, meetings, reports, and endless communication, Scribbled offers practical, informed support from someone who understands the education system. We work alongside families and their support teams, advocating for children and holding schools accountable so every child has the opportunity to thrive.

This work is grounded in lived experience. I’m a parent who has walked this path, an educator who understands how the system works, and a professional who has spent years collaborating with Allied health providers to support children's social, emotional and communication skills in meaningful ways. I know how confusing, emotional, and isolating this journey can feel - and how powerful it is when the right support finally clicks.

At Scribbled, we offer guidance, practical resources, diagnostic assessment services, parent coaching and school advocacy. We are proudly neuroaffirming, focusing on developing a relationship with your child so we can work collaboratively to support their needs.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Reach out and see how Scribbled can help you and your family in the schooling journey.

Cindy is the parent of two neurodivergent children, an "NDIS Mum" and an educator with over 15 years of experience working in Australia and internationally. She has a strong interest in inclusive and alternative schooling pathways, international education models, and democratic education.

Cindy holds postgraduate qualifications in Community Services (TAFE) and Teaching English as an Additional Language (Bond University), as well as a Bachelor of Education from USQ. She completed a postgraduate short course in Autism at QUT and then commenced her Master’s degree in Autism & Neurodivergent Studies at the University of Wollongong. The University of Wollongong is one of the few universities offering a specialised pathway toward accreditation with the Developmental Educators Australia (DEA) as a Developmental Educator.

In addition to her tertiary studies, Cindy is trained in the Berry Street Education Model and the Sounds-Write approach to teaching reading. She currently works with the Department of Education as an Inclusion professional, mentoring and up-skilling teachers, liaising with Allied Health professionals, and supporting children and families in their child's schooling journey.
