We are Virginia Keil (left), and Greta West (right). We spent four years together co-teaching neurodivergent high schoolers, and now we collaborate on all kinds of things, including presentations and talks, resources, and direct individual support.
There are lots of reasons that we work so well together, but one of our biggest assets is the ways in which we are able to communicate across our neurotypes to create the kind of innovate, creative things that come with finding connection, mutual respect, and positive regard across diverse brains.
What we Make
We collaborate on all kinds of workbooks, templates, tools, and projects to support neurodivergent people (and ourselves) across the lifespan. As we are able, we offer them here for free as a service to our community. We'd love to hear how you are using them, and we respectfully ask for a citation (or mention) when you use our work!
