Presenters:
Cooper Ochsenbein is an avid soccer player and Spurs fan, a wildlife enthusiast, and a high school student in Colorado. He was diagnosed with ADHD-combined type, ODD, and generalized anxiety disorder when he was 6 years old, and as highly gifted when he was 10 years old, qualifying him as 2e -twice exceptional. Cooper's journey as a neuro-divergent individual has included various kinds of therapies, medications, and a lot of self-reflection. Cooper hopes that some of his experiences may be found as helpful to others.
A junior in high school, Hallie Bramblett enjoys reading, music, theater, art, being outside and spending time with friends. She tested into a gifted program in elementary school and was diagnosed with attention deficit issues in middle school. Her insight into her journey took a giant leap forward after traveling to the Star Institute for a comprehensive, extended occupational therapy evaluation in 2019. Since then, she has found a passion for discussing neurodivergency with others — both students and their parents — back home in Tennessee. Hallie looks forward to learning and sharing during this summit.
