Speaker: Amy Bechtol
Amy Bechtol is a neurodivergent individual, educator, and advocate. Identified as autistic at thirteen, she has spent her life engaged with her community. Amy attended Bridges Academy as a high school student, and now, by beautiful coincidence, she has the privilege of getting to teach at that same school. Her curriculum in humanities and arts, as well as the self-directed Young Expert Program emphasizes student strengths and interests in order to help them succeed in school in a natural and joyful way. When not working with her beloved students, she enjoys cooking, aquascaping, and taking long walks with her dogs in the pasture.
