We Were Those Kids: Rewriting the Story for Neurodivergent Learners

About Ozro

Special education teacher helping parents, educators, and clinicians actually understand neurodivergent learners.

Get to Know Ozro

Ask me about

What behavior is actually trying to say. Supporting learners with disabilities without burning out. Being visually impaired in a world that isn't built for you.

My superpower

Making people feel seen and understood before we've parted ways.

What I wish people understood about my brain

I miss most nonverbal cues, so I've learned to listen more intentionally and ask better questions. Connection, for me, happens through words.

What I'm excited about

Meeting people who are doing this work from the inside out. Learning what neurodivergence looks like across different ages, settings, and lived experiences.

What brought me to NeuroDiversion

I'm coming to learn, grow, and build relationships with people I can lean on and support.
