What People Are Saying
“The response to Sarah Silverman’s workshop on Neurodiversity in the Classroom has been overwhelmingly positive and has sparked thoughtful ongoing conversation across campus. The same things that made Sarah such a delight to work with – her deep expertise and her attentiveness to our campus context and needs — made her a thoughtful and effective facilitator. Our day-long virtual event included a multi-hour interactive workshop and several smaller meetings with various stakeholders. Sarah was adept at keeping everyone engaged throughout and she was prepared and attentive to the different goals of each group.”
“Every faculty and staff member I talked with who had attended Sarah’s ½ day workshop said it was one of the best professional development experiences they have ever attended. The session managed to provide a strong introduction for participants who were new to the topic of neurodiversity while also engaging those looking for a deeper exploration of strategies for supporting our neurodiverse students. Sarah was amazing to work with – very generous with her time, expertise, and resources.”
