The Problem

The 2024 National Report Card revealed that less than 20% of students with disabilities/neurodivergent learners were at or above a proficient level in Reading and Mathematics in grades 4 and 8 across the U.S. This means that over 80% of neurodivergent students were performing below grade-level expectations. These scores are a major injustice to neurodivergent students. Even though these scores are alarming, educational organizations are still using misaligned curriculum solutions, enabling racism and ableism in instructional practices, and have professional development and coaching models that do not adequately equip educational professionals with resources and strategies to effectively and empathetically educate neurodivergent students of color.

We reveal how current curriculum, instructional practices, and systems impact neurodivergent students of color. Through audits, data analysis, and stakeholder conversations, we surface hidden barriers, unmet strengths, and misalignments that limit equitable outcomes.

Value: Leaders gain clarity on what’s costing time, resources, and student potential.

We optimize curriculum, instruction, and professional learning using evidence-based practices grounded in Universal Design for Learning and culturally relevant pedagogy. Solutions are customized to your organization’s context to maximize impact without adding unnecessary complexity.

Value: Educators implement high-leverage strategies that improve access, engagement, and achievement.

We integrate effective practices through coaching, capacity building, and continuous improvement cycles so culturally relevant and neuro-affirming approaches become embedded in daily practice—not dependent on individual champions.

Value: Sustainable, long-term return on investment through systems change that endures.

“Leroy Smith's parent workshop, Reading Our Roots: Using Culturally Relevant Texts to Reinforce Comprehension for Black Children with Dyslexia, was truly impactful for our community.

Mr. Smith courageously addressed root cause issues at the intersection of racism and ableism.

He clarified topics in family-friendly terms, providing real strategies to build children's literacy skills and affirm their identity.”

Center for Civic Education

"The Center for Civic Education could not create true High-Quality Instructional Materials like our Project Citizen without your input and expertise! Good civic education needs to be accessible to all and you and Realized Curriculum Solutions make this happen. Thank you, Leroy Smith, M.Ed.!"

Belonging Education

"Upon our first conversation, I knew that Leroy had something that so many school leaders and teachers needed. My feeling was proven right after I started advertising his event, Unveiling the Hidden Potential: Understanding Black Boys with Disabilities, and almost 100 people from around the country signed up!

Leroy Smith’s work is about more than just diagnosing the system’s problems, which are well-documented and visible in every school I visit. He creates materials and has an approach that supports advocacy, change, and breaking down barriers for Black boys with disabilities."

"Leroy has always provided outstanding services for our business in a timely manner. He is a person of detail and consistency. Leroy writes curriculum that is well organized and easy for teachers to follow and understand. He is also a person who stands behind his work and willing to ask questions if something is not clear or confusing. With Leroy's professional background and high standards for excellence in education, I highly recommend to any other business seeking his services."

"Leroy was awesome! I really enjoyed the activities/strategies that he did with us, I will definitely be able to use them in my classroom next year and will share them with my colleagues. I would love Leroy to present to my school."
