Dr. Kristen’s impact extends beyond schools—she has contributed to state-level special education reform, shaped best practices through her leadership at Weinfeld Education Group, and authored content for national policy papers, including contributions to the Manhattan Institute. Her work bridges real-world practice with big-picture change.
In addition to my consulting and speaking work, I currently serve as the Director of Social Emotional Services at Weinfeld Education Group, where I help families and students access the services and placements they need. This ongoing advocacy work keeps me deeply connected to the ever-evolving realities of education policy, mental health, and inclusive practices.

“Kristen’s work in celebrating neurodiversity is nothing short of humanitarian. I hold her in the same esteem as a front-line worker, given the stakes for our youth and the broader impact on society. Her dedication, tireless effort, and infectious enthusiasm continue to inspire me—and push me to work harder to build a more inclusive school and world.”
- Nate Z., Director of Inclusivity & Social Science Department Chair, Highland School
“Kristen’s expertise and guidance were absolutely invaluable. We were completely overwhelmed trying to navigate the complex world of special education, and she not only helped us understand every step—she made sure no detail was overlooked. Her support, advocacy, and genuine care for our child went above and beyond. We are so grateful.”

Dr. Kristen’s Approach
“To inspire people, I don’t show them my superpowers—I show them theirs.”
My work is grounded in research—but never divorced from reality. I’ve been in the classroom, the boardroom, and the trenches. I believe
compassion is strategy, and when we understand how the brain works, we lead better, teach better, and live better.
Whether I’m supporting a school team, training clinical staff, or guiding a district through change, I bring a
brain-based lens, a trauma-informed heart, and real-world practicality to every room I walk into.
Because inclusion isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. And leadership, done right, is an act of love.
