Letara Couto

Letara is a passionate advocate for neurodivergent voices, drawing from both lived experience and her work in accessible education. ​ Diagnosed with ADHD at 12, she faced years of academic and personal challenges before finding her footing in college---when starting ADHD medication, it transformed her ability to learn, focus, and thrive. That shift inspired a deeper journey into accessibility and inclusive education. ​ After studying Accessible Media Production in 2018, Letara began working at Accessible Learning Services within her college. Now a full-time Learning Strategist and Adaptive Technologist, she spends her days helping students understand their unique learning styles and adapt technology to support their success. ​ Letara is also a proud mom to two incredible neurodivergent kids: an 11-year-old son with ADHD and Autism and a 9-year-old daughter with ADHD and anxiety. Her personal and professional experiences continue to shape her commitment to advocacy, empathy, and creating spaces where neurodiversity is not only accepted but celebrated. As a co-host of the Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, Letara brings heart, insight, and a deep belief in the power of sharing our stories.
