About Us
Jennifer Snyder
As the current Co-President of the NC Council for Exceptional Children's Division of Learning Disabilities, I am a highly qualified and experienced educator. With an MAEd and licensure in learning disabilities, reading K-12, general curriculum, adapted curriculum, and assistive technology, I have dedicated my career to helping students with special needs succeed. I am the current Exceptional Children's Director at Envision Science Academy in Wake Forest, NC, a position I have held since 2015 and the Autism Team Lead at the school since 2016. The 2021-2022 North Carolina Council for Exceptional Children recognized me as the Teacher of Excellence. With over 13 years of experience in special education, including work in Pitt County and Wake County Public Schools, I have a deep passion for helping students with Autism Spectrum Disorder reach their full potential in all settings, including post-secondary life.
