AISC 2024 dark

We live, and perpetuate, a world of neurotypical standards. Being a part of the minority of working Autistic adults, I constantly fight this battle. However, my AuDHD (Autism & ADHD) is what makes me a strong leader and teacher. Although it comes with it's own set of challenges and boundaries. My voice is loud in my direct relationships to give space for neurodivergence within my classroom and team, however, administration still looks at teacher well-being on a neurotypical scale. It’s time to make some noise and disrupt the space where leaders come to learn by taking the time to understand my story.

Expected Outcomes:
By the end of the presentation, participants will have a deeper understanding of the prevalence and implications of undiagnosed neurodivergence among teachers. They will also leave with practical strategies and tools to support the wellness and success of all educators, ultimately leading to a more inclusive and enriched learning environment for students.
