Redefining “Special” in Education.
Building Inclusive Cultures Where Every Brain Thrives.
Empowering educators, leaders, and families to
unlock every child's unique potential through a
neuro-inclusive approach to learning and well-being.
“There is less of a need for special education when we create an education that is special.”
— Katy Boucher
Beyond Labels: Creating Education That Is Truly Special for Every Child.
In today's classrooms, the reliance on reactive special education services often overshadows the unique diversity of every brain.
Katy Boucher advocates for a new approach: creating learning environments that are inherently 'special' for every child from the start.
When we enthusiastically embrace neurodiversity, we not only empower unique learners but also naturally reduce the need for traditional interventions.

For over twenty years, Katy Boucher has brought real-world, actionable insights to her work in truly inclusive education. She founded and directs The Accord School, an accredited middle school built on these very principles, and established Skills for Living, a nationally recognized center now being reinvigorated at The Accord Center. Her work proves that with the right approach, transformative change is possible.
