Cynthia Parks Ph.D. Student, U.C. Davis, School of Education / Inclusion and Equitable Learning Research

"As a neurodivergent person, or a person with learning differences, I think the most powerful way to combat negative stigma is to be both educated and open minded... I am passionate in my belief that educating parents and teachers about their childrens' and students' neurodevelopmental needs can result in the implementation of parenting and learning strategies that will help children and families to live more harmonious, productive and loving lives."

"My research is motivated by a deep commitment to cultivating inclusive educational environments that not only foster a meaningful sense of belonging but also prioritize the situated knowledge and lived experiences of neurodivergent learners. This motivation is framed by my own embodied experiences with autism, combined-type ADHD, and chronic inflammatory autoimmune conditions. "
