About Samantha Ellner-Ward
I am a learning specialist with a PhD in Educational Psychology and a background in supporting diverse learners. After several years in research, I transitioned into student-centered practice to apply evidence-based strategies directly in the classroom.In my current role, I focus on executive functioning, self-advocacy, and helping students navigate the transition to middle school with confidence. My expertise includes neurodiversity across all ages and the application of research on how trauma impacts learning. I am dedicated to creating equitable, supportive environments that help every student reach their potential.
