About
Dr. John Burke
I have devoted my entire career to improving the quality of life for individuals with unique abilities and neurodiverse learning by helping them to have connected and socially integrated lives within their communities. I am a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst – Doctoral and with formal training across Speech and Hearing Sciences, Education, Psychology and Neurophysiology. I seek to help individuals, families and professionals to better understand neurodivergent learning with a focus on building upon skills and unique strengths. Starting while at The Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine I have provided guidance, support, and training for community professionals and parents. I have served in leadership roles nationally and internationally including as a lead member of an established team under Vice President Gore’s National Reinvention Initiative. Within Connecticut, I have served as the Chair of the State Advisory Council on Special Education and delivered countless workshops across the state, nation, and across the globe. My work has led to many publications as well as several invited presentations including a joint session delivered at the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS): Global Forum on Disability in the Information Society.
