PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & PARENT EDUCATION
I enjoy collaborating with schools and parent organizations to design customized talks and professional development (PD) sessions that translate complex neuroscience into actionable classroom and home strategies. Drawing on 30 years of experience as a special education veteran, I help educators and families move beyond the "medical model" to build inclusive environments where every kind of mind can shine.
If you are interested in bringing a fresh, practical perspective to your community, please reach out.

"I’m especially grateful for the way you connected our mission to the everyday practices that make learning more inclusive—not just for students receiving formal support, but for those who might otherwise go unseen."
​
"Dan, Thank you again for the thoughtful way you helped us launch the year. Your framing of neurodiversity as an essential part of DEI really resonated with our faculty, and I’ve already heard several reflections about how your talk expanded their lens for supporting students."​​​​​​​​​​​

"Dan, Thank you for your calm, well-thought-out, and informative presentation today at WSP. Your flexibility in letting the needs and interests of the group dictate the direction of the conversation was refreshing. I also enjoyed how you normalized using his/her/they in discussing students."
