2027 Neurodiversity Conference
Empowering Educators as Champions for Every Learner
The Fletcher School
8500 Sardis RoadCharlotte, NC 28270
United States
This conference is dedicated to inspiring and equipping teachers, school leaders, and educational professionals with the knowledge and tools to better understand and support diverse learners. The day will bring together thought leaders, innovative practitioners, and educators to explore current research, effective strategies, and real-world practices for supporting neurodivergent students.
Heidi Tringali will open the conference with a keynote designed to deepen participants’ understanding of neurodiversity and provide practical insights for creating learning environments where all students can thrive.
Throughout the day, participants will have the opportunity to choose from distinct learning tracks—one designed specifically for educators working in LD schools and another for educators in non-LD schools who want to strengthen their understanding and support of neurodivergent learners. Sessions will offer practical tools and strategies that meet educators where they are while addressing the different needs and contexts of their school communities.
Attendees will leave with actionable ideas for building on student strengths, embracing differences, and creating learning environments where every student feels understood, supported, and empowered to succeed.
