Happy Thanksgiving to all. In these turbulent times, I hope this has been a day of remembrance and reflection of the love that exists everyday in even the smallest of ways. Keep those you hold dear close to your heart and never give up the fight for what is true.

So proud of my dear friend, Yvette Robinson, for her commitment to advocacy and service to gifted youth in foster care through her work in founding Xavier House. Tonight her work and dedication was recognized and honored as she received the National Association for Gifted Children President’s Award.

Fewer than 70 days until ny new book (with my amazing co-author @amandamorin.bsky.social) is released out into the world.

"Creating Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools" is a guide for the systemic changes we need in our education system so neurodivergent learners actually have their needs met.
