We are excited to announce the third event in the new Neurodiversity Speaker Series!
The Neurodiversity Speaker Series features a lineup of renowned experts, including educators, mental health professionals, and advocates specializing in neurodiversity. It provides families with valuable insights and tools to better support neurodivergent learners, including those with with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and more.
This collaborative initiative seeks to foster understanding, empathy, and inclusion by equipping families and communities with the knowledge and resources they need to create supportive environments for their uniquely wired learners.
EVENT DESCRIPTION
What does it mean to be a “different thinker” or to identify as neurodiverse? Where can we find the full potential of our community? And how can we make strides toward creating a world in which every learner is recognized?
By sharing his own experiences with dyslexia and ADHD, David Flink will provide answers to these questions and more. In doing so, he’ll also provide a glimpse into the power of mentoring, community, and allyship in the lives of Different Thinkers.
At the presentation's core is a message of educational revolution for people who learn and think differently.
David Flink, Founder and Chief Empowerment Officer (CEO) of Eye to Eye, is an author and social movement leader on the front lines of the learning rights movement. He imagines a world where, one day, all learners will be seen, heard, and valued.
Parents/caregivers, students, educators, mental health professionals, and community members welcome. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available. Free admission.
