The Future of Human Intelligence: Uniquely Thriving in an AI-Driven World 

As artificial intelligence continues to transform every aspect of our lives, one question looms large: What does it mean to be uniquely human in an AI-driven world? Today, we’re diving deep into the crossroads of human intelligence and artificial intelligence—and the future of work, education, and problem-solving in this evolving landscape.

Our guests are two visionaries at the forefront of this movement.

From IEPs to Adulthood: Navigating Autism as a Parent and Educator 

In this informative Autism Awareness episode of Classroom Dynamics, we're opening the door to an authentic conversation about the realities, challenges, and triumphs of raising — and teaching — individuals on the autism spectrum. But we’re going one step further… we’re also looking at life after school, through the lens of an autistic adult. 

Joining us is Angela LaVeglia, a passionate NYC-based elementary school IEP teacher, and her son Mikey, who brings his lived experience as an autistic adult to the mic. Together, they share their unique story — the school years, the setbacks, and the system that often wasn’t ready. Angela reveals what it was like navigating both sides of the IEP table, and Mikey reflects on the supports that helped him succeed — and the ones that didn’t. 

We'll also explore how technology is changing the game for autistic learners — from accessibility tools, to AI, to digital platforms that foster independence, growth, and self-expression. 

Whether you're an educator, a parent, or an advocate, this heartfelt episode offers honest insight, hope, and a call to reimagine how we support neurodiverse students across every stage of life.
