We are pleased to announce our 2024 Conference Day One Keynote Speaker, Ms. Jordyn Zimmerman. 

Keynote: Embracing An Inclusive Mindset Through Accessible Technology
Jordyn Zimmerman, Program Strategy Manager at The Nora Project, will share how today’s dynamic technology landscape is transforming access to reliable communication and inclusive education for students with disabilities. Jordyn will present her own lived experience as a nonspeaking autistic person, who at age 18 after years of frustration, was given access to communication via iPad and robust AAC. Jordyn’s message about accessing the power of technology, while challenging the status quo, will push you to think deeply about how you can affect change and challenge perceptions in your own learning community.
