In this episode, Host Annette Hines talks with Dr. Bibi Pirayesh an educational therapist and Founder of One of One Kids. She holds a Bachelor's in Neuroscience and Education from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master's in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University, focusing on children's development and cognitive neuroscience. She has over a decade of experience as a learning specialist and educational therapist in private practice. The scholarship, research interests, and advocacy work of Dr. Bibi are focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the historical and epistemological factors that perpetuate inequalities in the system. This inspired her creation of The Difference Not Deficit Project, an initiative aimed at transforming special education by shifting the narrative one story at a time. This episode explores the concept of learning disabilities as a social justice issue. Listen to the whole episode to know deeper about how learning disabilities as a social justice became Dr. Bibi’s advocacy.
