Tune in to this episode of “Monday Morning Spotlight” with Lesley Kaplan to hear my story as neurodistinct individual, mother, educator, and advocate. From making Aliyah and finding spiritual connection in Jerusalem to raising neurodivergent children and recovering from complex brain surgery, I reflect on the challenges that shaped my mission. I share about the sensory and perceptual shifts I experienced, the lessons I learned through misdiagnoses and advocacy, and how faith and inner drive led me to write Moving Forward—a book that has touched lives around the world.
I also touch on the power of inclusion, the importance of listening deeply to those who communicate differently, and why every person—regardless of ability or diagnosis—has a unique purpose and the capacity to shine light into the world. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or curious listener, this conversation is packed with wisdom, warmth, and a powerful message: resilience, empathy, and understanding can transform lives.
