Over a Decade of Innovation in Neurodiverse Education and Beyond
The Breakthroughs in Twice-Exceptional Futures Conference connects leaders across fields and industries with a shared commitment to neurodiversity. Each year, 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.
