"I deliver impactful talks on neurodiversity, mental health, and growth mindset, helping audiences recognize their value and drive success. With experience speaking for government agencies, corporations, and schools, I specialize in workplace accommodations, inclusive practices, and strategies for diverse learners through keynotes, workshops, and assemblies."

Growing up in a one-size-fits-all world, Dr. Eccleston often thought she was an outsider to the education system. As she continued in her education and career, she soon realized that she wasn’t an anomaly to the student population. Neurodiverse students are more common than most believe, and Dr. Eccleston addresses some of the ways we can advocate for the wider population of students so that all recognize the powerful gift neurodiverse students have.
