Show Notes
This week, we are joined by Lauren Hough Williams. Lauren is the Executive Director of the Program for Inclusion and Neurodiversity Education, better known as PINE, an online platform which provides training and support to schools and districts committed to building more neuro-inclusive schools. Lauren is an autism and inclusion specialist, but first, she is an educator. She began her career as a special educator for the NYC Department of Education before working for over a decade to define, refine, and expand the NYU ASD Nest Support Project. Her development process includes partnering with the neurodivergent community to shift the paradigm in special education from a focus on deficit to a focus on strengths. From Lauren’s experience working with educators, she has seen that those who know better can do better. She is committed to helping school systems understand the needs of their neurodiverse students so that they can build inclusive classrooms where everyone can thrive. Download to learn more!
