Jess Gile has been working in the field of special education and learning support for the last 13 years across varied programmatic settings and grade levels. Through their experiences supporting teachers and students with both learning and behavior needs, they have developed a passion for deepening their own relationship and understanding of their disability while seeking to understand other perspectives and experiences of others. This has led Jess to develop a compelling mission to support others in developing their understanding of how our best intentions as educators can have unintended harmful impacts on individuals with disabilities.
