Mr. Sweeting is a dynamic speaker, with over 10 years of experience working in education and health care, that challenges us to question how we approach teaching neurodivergent students using traditional classroom practice. He shares what it is like to be a college student with autism and how educators can make small changes that yield lasting success for students on the autism spectrum.
