Your inclusion guide
Hi, I'm April!
In 3rd grade, I often finished my work quickly and annoyed the teacher. The teacher would send me out to work in the ‘special ed classroom’. What the teacher thought was a punishment turned into my passion - helping neurodivergent individuals with disabilities!
While teaching for 20 years, I started identifying ways to create a better school environment that would help cater to those with neurodiversities and be better for everyone.
About 3 years ago, I decided I needed to pour 100% of my focus into building the inclusive capacities of schools and changing the future for the neurodiverse.
Today I proudly work with top schools and organizations on their inclusion practices and am a speaker among world-leading teacher conferences.
