In this powerful episode of SEND, LOUD & PROUD, I team up with the inspiring Scott Neilson to delve into his impactful work as an autistic trainer, mentor, and consultant. Together, we explore how Scott is fostering meaningful change through his training sessions on autism and neurodivergence for educators, social workers, and parents, equipping them with the tools to create inclusive environments.

Scott opens up about his experience mentoring autistic individuals, both children and adults, and the profound impact of building supportive relationships that empower neurodivergent voices. We also dive into his collaborative work with other autistic professionals, including his contributions to ground-breaking books that amplify stories from the community. Join us as we challenge misconceptions, celebrate triumphs, and uncover actionable strategies for breaking barriers and redefining possibilities for neurodivergent individuals both in education and beyond.
