Kristin Lehman
Kristin Lehman, MS (she/her), is an educator and learning designer who brings a neurodiversity-affirming lens to every learning space she creates. With experience teaching everything from kindergarten astronomy to college-level geometry, statistics, and logic, she has worked across age groups, content areas, and learning environments. The moments may be wildly different, but that variety is exactly what keeps her curious and engaged.
Kristin has taught in universities, parent partnership programs, and in the backyard as a longtime homeschooling parent. Her approach to educational resource design is shaped by a deep commitment to accessibility, particularly for twice-exceptional (2e) learners who often fall through the cracks of traditional systems.
She designs learning experiences that are open-ended, engaging, and thoughtfully layered. Her goal is to help learners explore big ideas at their own pace and in ways that feel meaningful to them. Her work emphasizes flexibility, creativity, and respect for how each brain learns best.
When she’s not building systems to make life work more smoothly (often with a lukewarm coffee in hand and a half-finished audiobook playing in the background), Kristin enjoys unwinding with a bit of mathematical art or a quiet Zentangle doodle.

Disintegrate to Innovate: A New Lens for Understanding Growth in Intense Learners
What if emotional outbursts, frustration, and academic shutdowns were signs of progress, not failure? Based on Dąbrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration, this session explores how emotional intensity and inner conflict often signal a learner’s next stage of development. You’ll learn how to support kids through these tough moments with practical tools and fresh perspective. Whether your child is neurodivergent, gifted, sensitive, or simply growing fast, this framework can help reframe the messiness as meaningful.
