Alexandra “Alex” Nelson is a current Speech-Language Pathologist for a public school system, and a prospective Special Education administrator eager to share her extensive knowledge base acquired through the support of, programming for, and deeply rooted relationships with a wide range of disabled students, ages 3-22. Alex has also done contract-based work to provide comprehensive AAC evaluations to students in the public-school setting. She is an ardent advocate for neurodiversity, accessibility, and inclusive practices, specifically with respect to students who may have distinct learning styles, complex communication needs, and/or may be doubly marginalized. Alex loves the school setting primarily because of the ability to collaborate with various professionals more efficiently for the greater good of the student. To best meet all of her students’ needs and facilitate a “reframing” of their profiles from a strengths-based lens, Alex has orchestrated several building-based Professional Development sessions about neurodiversity and inclusive practices for classroom teachers, and designed and implemented communication boards for all preschool, elementary, and town park playgrounds in her past school district to enhance communication among neurotypical and neurodivergent peers through play. Above all, Alex enjoys collaborating with families and students, and facilitating PPTs for students with more complex profiles to ensure that students’ desires are amplified, and programming is comprehensive and aligned to general education standards.
