About
Meet Dr. Diane Simpson Brown
I specialize in support and instruction tailored to neurodiverse populations, including people with co-occurring disabilities and psychological conditions. As a longtime psychology professor and Director of the Honors Program at Everett Community College, I've spent my career at the intersection of teaching, accessibility, and human development.
Today, I bring that same expertise directly to schools, employers, and neurodivergent individuals who want practical tools, not just talking points.

What People Are Saying
Feedback from workshops and classes
I really enjoyed this class and the instructor, [Dr. Diane Brown]. I think employees were able to connect and share and build community. Neurodiversity acceptance is very important so we can support individual needs at our agency.
This was one of the most impactful training sessions I've attended in years. The content was highly relevant to today's societal climate and our agency's mission, but what truly stood out was the emphasis on maintaining curiosity and an open heart toward the human experience. Beyond the practical skills, it was a powerful call to be a ‘good human’ in our professional and personal lives. The instructor was exceptionally knowledgeable and relatable, making complex topics easy to digest.
I found the discussion boards and in-class lectures to be very engaging, both offered students a chance to share their experiences and learn about one another. It allowed for me, at least, to not only feel validated—finding that I am not alone in what I experience—but it also helped me to better understand what I did not know, broadening my horizon and hopefully making [me] more empathetic towards and understanding of others and their experiences with being neurodivergent.
