The Vanguard School and Services was honored to serve as a Bronze Sponsor of EmpathyTech 2025. At the event, we connected with tech companies, service providers, and innovative resources from the Philadelphia region and beyond —  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 panelist, joining a dynamic panel on the main stage. Together, they discussed the question, “How can empathy and inclusion reframe innovation?” Their conversation reflected the important work we do every day to support and amplify the needs of neurodiverse individuals and their families.
