Jordyn Zimmerman

Jordyn Zimmerman is a passionate educator and disability advocate. After being diagnosed as autistic at a young age, she did not receive access to augmentative communication until the age of 18 — and has personal experience challenging the status quo, which is featured in the 2021 documentary, This Is Not About Me.    Technology enabled effective communication, and Jordyn began advocating through a series of presentations and keynotes around the world. Since then, she has thrived on boldly showing up and redefining what is possible in learning spaces and broader communities. Jordyn is now Program Strategy Manager at The Nora Project, Board Chair of the nonprofit CommunicationFIRST, an Apple Distinguished Educator, and is a two-time appointee on The United States Presidential Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. Before this, Jordyn earned her Bachelor's degree in Education Policy from Ohio University and her Master's of Education at Boston College. Learn more at www.JordynZimmerman.com.
