As part of the weekly SEED speaker program, RKYHS students heard from Pamela Schuller, a nationally known inclusion advocate. Schuller shared her extraordinary personal story of growing up with the most severe known case of Tourette Syndrome in the country. She described how she turned that challenge into professional and personal success. Her talk was engaging, funny and deeply meaningful as she spoke about how she embraces her differences.

Schuller holds a BA in psychology and youth outreach through the arts from Knox College, and an MA in child advocacy and policy from Montclair State University, where she focused her studies on creating improvisational theater programs as a tool for youth with disabilities to improve self-advocacy skills.
