I chatted with Sam Young, M.Ed, the  Head of School at Young Scholars Academy, about what it means to be “twice-exceptional,” the challenges neurodivergent students face, and how community and leaning into strengths builds confidence and sets students up for success. 

This is a great conversation for educators, parents, neurodivergent adults, and anyone who’s passionate about supporting unique learners.
