Amy O'Dell is a once-in-a-generation leader and healthcare innovator on a quest to change the way the world addresses neurobiological delays and disorders.

Amy is a fierce proponent of the methodology she pioneered, the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care™ (IWBMC™), which harnesses the extraordinary ability of the brain to heal and develop new capacity at any age. This healing and development can occur despite challenges from a multitude of causes - autism, traumatic brain injury, stroke, developmental disabilities, genetic syndromes, or mental health issues.

Her ability to see the unseen, combined with her irrepressible spirit and hope for the broken, has been recognized nationally and internationally. Amy is known as a true trailblazer in the field of education and rehabilitation for individuals with neurobiological challenges. Her refusal to accept conventional medical wisdom regarding the limitations of her beloved son's future drove her to build upon her therapy and counseling background to extensively study neurobiological and relational interventions to found Jacob's Ladder, a non-profit, accredited school and research center, and AHAVA, a digital platform for human flourishing. Her work has led to countless stories of transformation in the lives of the most vulnerable.

In a world that consistently tells us there is only one, or no, path forward for individuals with neurobiological challenges, Amy is carving out a new path on the foundation of authentic leadership and love that will impact generations to come.
