We look forward to hosting the upcoming PTO General Assembly Meeting on Thursday, October 17 beginning at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom (see link below).   

We are pleased to welcome Ms. Krista Gauthier who will present on the topic of neurodiversity.  During her presentation, Ms. Gauthier will focus on three specific neurodiverse diagnoses i.e. autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, and provide helpful resources to parents.

Ms. Gauthier became a passionate advocate for those who are neurodivergent when, as a parent of a child with dyslexia, she noticed that the access she was able to provide her daughter in both remediation and STEM enrichment was denied to so many. From that experience, Ms. Gauthier created a one of a kind program that provides reading intervention and STEM enrichment to students in the Washington, DC region. Her latest venture, The Leading Edge, works towards her ultimate goal of creating Kindergarten to Workforce pathways for  those who are neurodivergent. Ms. Gauthier has over 15 years of experience in education, both as a teacher and as a researcher in educational theory and curriculum development as well as non-profit management. Krista is one of the founding members of National Security Neurodiversity Network with partners INSA, MITRE, Enabled Intelligence, and Social Grace. 

Please invite friends, neighbors, and co-workers who may be interested in this topic to join our community for this special event.
