Masterclass Presenter at the Teacher Summit, Neurodiversity in Education - United States of America

DateSaturday, April 5, 2025 at 3:41PM

I presented my pedagogy Language in Action™—a session exploring how sequential art, language meditation, drama, and improvisation can transform the language-learning experience for neurodivergent learners.

Thanks to Conference Host Peya Robbins for the wonderful post-conference presentation testimony!

Stuart was an absolute joy to work with as a speaker for the Neurodiversity Teacher Summit. His presentation, "Language in Action: Engaging Neurodiverse Learners," was engaging, insightful, and incredibly well-received by our audience of educators. He brought both warmth and expertise to the topic, offering real-world strategies that teachers could immediately apply in their classrooms.

From start to finish, Stuart was responsive, communicative, and met every deadline with professionalism and care. We’re so grateful for his contribution and would love to collaborate with him again in the future!
