It's universal learning design.
It's differentiated learning.
It's working towards equity, not equality.

Many of our neurodivergent kids *need* supports and accommodations that neurotypical kids simply do not need.

All kids deserve to have what they need to thrive. And to access education in a safe, neurodiversity-affirming environment.

So many teachers give our kids this.
And plenty of teachers tell me it's impossible, and that teachers are stretched too thin already- I know you are. I know that.

I know we need to start at the top, with policy-makers and educational systems. I know.

It's why I'm working so hard.

And a big shout out to all the teachers working hard for our ND kids. We appreciate you.
What we're doing is not easy.
