Each of my children is uniquely different in their personalities, perspectives, strengths, and challenges—a constant reminder that learning is not one-size-fits-all. Their individuality is the foundation of my “why” and the driving force behind my passion for educational technology and inclusive learning.
Watching my children navigate an educational system designed for uniformity has often led me to ask difficult questions: Are we truly meeting the needs of all learners? Are we equipping students with the tools and skills they need to succeed not only in the classroom, but beyond it? Too often, the answer is no—not because educators lack care or commitment, but because they are not always provided the training, resources, and tools necessary to support diverse learners effectively.
I firmly believe educational technology—when used intentionally and thoughtfully—is a powerful catalyst for change. It has the ability to remove barriers, expand access to information, and create meaningful learning opportunities across all environments and modalities. When implemented correctly, instructional technology supports student independence, equity, and success, particularly for learners with physical or learning disabilities.
