About the speaker
Jenna Sommer is on a mission to design a world with every brain in mind. A certified speech-language pathologist and learning specialist, she brings a specialized lens to camps, schools, and other organizations through her consulting practice, Sommer Strategies. Past participants may already remember Jenna from Neurodiverse at Camp, her favorite project under the Sommer Strategies umbrella. Jenna prides herself on meeting every learner where they are, whether she’s coaching a first-time counselor or developing a strategic plan with a seasoned group of leaders. If she hasn’t answered your email, she’s probably been pulled into an imaginary world with her daughter and is busy pretending to be a butterfly.
Sessions
Back to Basics: Before & After Stories in Universal Design
Sometimes the most powerful shift isn’t a sweeping overhaul — it’s stripping away the complicated and getting back to what actually works. In this visual showcase, Jenna Sommer walks through real before-and-after transformations from her consulting work with camps — featuring actual program changes that show universal design in action. You’ll leave with small, tangible shifts you can put into practice today, no overhaul required.
