Supporting educators to meet the learning and social needs of autistic students and all kids who think and learn differently. I am dedicated to helping teachers, schools, and organizations implement inclusive, strengths-based instruction and supports for autistic students and all kids with a variety of academic, executive functioning, and social support needs. I love working with educators on how to use visual supports and graphic organizers, create executive functioning strategies and incorporate student interests, develop supports for social interaction and group work, and improve teacher language and classroom community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e36dba270c2d254c4327d3/26036176-0efc-4571-a1a9-d595956ee511/carol_gray_social_stories.png About I am a proud member of Team Social Stories.

About As Director of Professional Development and Executive Director of NYU’s Nest Support Project, I led the team supporting the largest autism inclusion model in the country. I developed and presented dozens of workshops, consulted with hundreds of teachers and principals—to help educators see and meet the needs of autistic students in inclusive classrooms. At Nest I oversaw the program’s expansion to more than 50 schools serving kindergarten to 12th grade students across New York City; I developed the middle and high school model in collaboration with a team of secondary educators; and I led the international expansion of the Nest model to the city of Aarhus, Denmark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e36dba270c2d254c4327d3/1633991929749-N4YRK0UZMIFZ1OC8J6AS/Aaron+leans+in+front+of+a+table+in+front+of+four+elementary+aged+students%2C+two+of+whom+are+raising+their+hands.+A+banner+at+the+bottom+reads+%22Big+jump%3A+autism+numbers+spike%22+with+an+%22abc%22+logo+in+the+corner.
