Ayo Jones is an educational innovator transforming special education through technology and teaching. With a Master's in Instructional Design and Technology, she has trained thousands of teachers and administrators at the Regional Education Service Centers in Texas and as a featured contributor on the Texas Education Agency's Special Education Support website, impacting tens of thousands of students across Texas and beyond.Her innovative approach to integrating technology into special education has pioneered one-to-one device programs and created new models for teaching students with complex needs. But it was her bold decision to sell everything and move her family to Ghana, West Africa (a journey captured in the HBO Max series Coming From America) that truly exemplified her commitment to educational transformation. In Ghana, she volunteers at the community's only autism school, expanding her mission to support students with disabilities globally.Through her platform Noodle Nook, her podcast, and her active presence on LinkedIn and YouTube, Ayo continues to share resources and strategies with educators worldwide. When she's not revolutionizing special education or developing new teaching tools, you'll find her pursuing her passion for creative problem solving through LEGO building - an interest that mirrors her approach to education: Building better futures, one piece at a time.
