What an energizing day at EmpathyTech! Executive Director, Tom Quinn, and Director of Marketing and Communications, Sheba Simms had a fantastic experience connecting with tech companies, service providers, and innovative resources from the Philadelphia region and beyond — all came together to explore how empathy and inclusion can shape innovation. As a leader in special education and services for neurodiverse children and adults, we were grateful for the opportunity to represent the voices of our students, adult participants, staff, and community at this collaborative event.

Our Executive Director, Tom Quinn, offered insights as a speaker, joining a dynamic panel on the main stage. Their conversation reflected the important work we do every day to support and amplify the needs of neurodiverse individuals and their families.

And in case you’re wondering about a certain curious photo in this post— yes, Tom bravely tested a virtual reality movement therapy experience called Vizmoo created by @GrooveCatcher…we’re happy to report he made it back to reality just fine! 😄
