Here's what students, parents, and school leaders are saying about Katy Boucher's transformative programs and engaging presentations:
Lindsey Fratolillo, Assistant Superintendent:
"I first met Katy when she came to Wessagusset Elementary School for a school-wide presentation on neurodiversity. As principal, I was moved by her passion, and awed by her ability to explain learning differences in ways that everyone could relate to and understand. Katy ’s expertise, compassion, and humor had an enormous impact on students and staff, and when the assembly was over there was a line of students waiting to speak with her and tell her about their own experiences. Katy’s message of authentic friendship and connection was touching, inspiring, and truly what our school community needed to hear.
When I moved into a district-leadership role and began to plan professional development opportunities, Katy was the first person who came to mind. Her message of creating neuro-inclusive environments, focusing on social-emotional learning, and fostering genuine relationships aligns perfectly with our district’s commitment of student and staff belonging. Katy presented to our pre-K through Grade 5 educators, and her ability to relate and connect with the larger audience was extraordinary. She’ talks the talk and walks the walk’! Not only does Katy understand the challenges of teaching today, but she also offers insights and shifts in thinking that school staff can put into practice right away. Katy empowers and inspires students and staff members, and is changing the way we look at learning one presentation at a time.”
