As someone who is neurodivergent and who struggled with learning differently growing up, it was important for Jo Anne White to help people considered atypical, often unaccepted and judged harshly as she was by her elementary school teachers. Although not easy, she changed the limiting belief in her brain, brought on by others’ judgements that she wasn’t capable and wouldn’t succeed. She pursued education and went on to get a Master’s in Education/Special Education and a PhD/Doctorate. Early in her career, she taught children with special needs and was also an adjunct Instructor in the Special Education Department at Temple University. Dr. White was then hired as the Executive Director of a comprehensive educational, clinical, vocational, autistic, residential and community program for children and youth with special needs at Bancroft, in New Jersey. She later served as their Director of Research, Evaluation and Training for all of Bancroft programs.
