He has established himself as one of the foremost leaders in the neurodiversity and learning revolution and has published two highly regarded books that are integrated into education curricula at Harvard and Columbia University. His presentation will empower parents and students alike with concrete strategies to build positive self-understanding. The program takes place Feb. 5, 7:00 p.m., McCulloch Middle School.
