About Mike
35 years in the classroom. 20 of them figuring out what the system gets wrong about neurodivergent kids.
I'm Mike Johnson, I've taught thousands of kids the public-school system had given up on — and watched them become engineers, scientists, tradesmen, and yes, a few valedictorians. The system that did it is the system I'm teaching parents now.
From Mike
“A learning designation doesn't define a kid. What they're actually good at does. My job — and yours — is to find it and build around it.”
Having worked with over a thousand families with neurodivergent children, I've seen a lot of very amazing children and young adults blossom into very successful adults. I could not be prouder of their accomplishments — artists, musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, tradespeople have all graduated from my program and gone on to successful careers.
Working with these amazing children and their families has filled me with gratitude and hope for all children with neurodivergence. I look forward to continuing to work with these fabulous families through N2V education.
