Neurodiversity reshapes our world.

Sam’s own journey as a neurodivergent individual and his work with Young Scholars Academy brings insights into fostering environments where children can explore their strengths, develop self-regulation, and ultimately, thrive in a society that is learning to celebrate cognitive differences.
