Jacki Edry
In 2021, Jacki Edry published her first book "Moving Forward: Reflections on Autism, Neurodiversity, Brain Surgery, and Faith" and soon after, she launched a blog on her site, www.jackisbooks.com, which focuses on educational reform, inclusion, neurodiversity, Judaism and more. Jacki enjoys linking up with neurodiversity advocates and educators worldwide, speaking, writing, teaching, and participating in podcasts to raise awareness about the subjects close to her heart.
Jacki is a graduate of Hampshire College with an extensive background in education, writing, and marketing. She has been exploring the world of autism and neurodiversity for over thirty-five years as a professional, parent of neurodivergent children, and firsthand as a survivor of complex brain surgery that affected my neurological and perceptual abilities.
Jacki has spent many years advocating for inclusion programs in the educational system, providing support for families of children with disabilities, and advocating for the inclusion of people with disabilities in society.
Jacki was honored to have been chosen as one of the Top 50 2023 Global Neurodiversity Evangelists by ND by design, powered by Dynamis.
