My name is Judy.
I am autistic and have ADHD.
I'm also a dynamic and empathetic speaker, trainer, coach, and consultant.
I'm passionate about helping organizations understand and accommodate neurodivergence... not just to check a box, but to benefit from their employees' neurodivergent special skills and promote more effective interactions between everyone in the organization, neurodivergent and neurotypical alike.
​
I have decades of experience designing engaging, accessible, and effective communications and experiences, and I've created dozens of learning solutions in the fields of leadership and management, accessibility and usability, communication, and DEI.
I've also worked in the field of neurodivergence for professional associations such as the Learning Guild, ATD, USDLA, and TLDC, as well as clients in retail, event, financial, healthcare, and other industries.
I have an MBA with a focus on organizational development and an MEd in instructional design for workplace learning.​

Design for All Learners (coming Feb 2025), edited by Sarah Mercier, is a compilation of strategies and resources for learning and development professionals. It covers a wide range of accessibility and inclusion issues, each written by a recognized expert in their field. ​I contributed all sections on neurodivergence.
The Gamification of Learning and Instruction (May 2012) by Dr. Karl Kapp is the definitive guide to serious games for learning. I contributed advice and stories from my experience as a learning and development professional and as a gamer.
