10 years of Innovation in Neurodiverse Education and Beyond

The three-day Breakthroughs in Twice-Exceptional Futures Conference connects leaders across fields and industries with a shared commitment to neurodiversity. Each year, hundreds of conference participants from across the country join us to learn about the latest breakthroughs in neuroinclusive, twice-exceptional futures — in education and beyond.

 

Presented by The Quad Preparatory School, a longtime leader and innovator in the field of neurodiverse 2e education, Breakthroughs in Twice-Exceptional Futures explores and celebrates the opportunities and impact twice-exceptional individuals experience in fields ranging from architecture to ecology, from technology to finance to the arts. Twice-exceptional individuals and industry and educational leaders also share innovative new approaches to neuroinclusivity in their fields. We look forward to a dynamic three days of in-person panels, presentations, keynote speakers, poster sessions, and roundtable discussions. 

For our 2023 Breakthroughs Conference, we were joined by an incredible lineup of speakers, including Haley Moss, Rebecca Sime Nagasawa, Carolyn Livingston, Zhara Astra, Elizabeth Waters, Adrianne Kadzinski, Debbie Reber, Sarah Ward, Jennifer Carpenter, and Nancy Tarshis. Our speaker lineup was rounded out with several other dynamic speakers from colleges and universities, neurodiverse professionals in fields ranging from media to finance, educators and clinicians, and other leaders and innovators who are making an impact as we work to build a more neuroinclusive world.
