Founded and led by John Sandy Campbell, “a system’s thinker”, Dinka® is a community based organization created to change the narrative surrounding children with autism and neurodiverse learners.

“Our work focuses on providing resources and information to parents and the educational community in order to better the learning outcomes for children with disabilities.”

Ms. Campbell holds a B.A. & M.Ed. from the University of California, Los Angeles, a M.A. from Loyola Marymount University, and a Certificate in Teacher Leadership from the University of California, Berkeley. She also holds two legal degrees from Pepperdine University School of Law in California.

She is a published author and host of the podcast Dinka’s® Neighborhood™, but her most important role is mommy to Dinka!
