Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a curriculum designed to meet children where they are, recognize their strengths, and adjust as necessary to meet the goals desired by the child and the family?
What if educators received adequate training on a non-medical model for helping neurodiverse students reach their full potential, not the imposed expectations of an education built for neurotypicals?
I feel very Lennon saying this, but, imagine?
Meet Dr. Katrina Martin, the founder of Bridges Learning System. After years of working within and on behalf of the education system for disabled youth, Katrina has a core belief that true education reform is urgently needed. She contends that now is the time to remove the antiquated paradigm of educating autistic and neurodivergent students through a medical model of disability. And in its place, she is building a social justice model of education, supporting strengths and teaching the benefits and values inherent in diverse ways of thinking.
Dr. Martin founded Bridges Learning System with the belief that by bringing together the autistic community and those who work on their behalf we can change the world, one student, one family, and one educator at a time.
Guess we don't have to imagine anymore!
