About Kimberly Kitzerow
Educator specializing in data synthesis
Kimberly Kitzerow is an educator who specializes in synthesizing existing raw data and interdisciplinary research related to neurodivergence and other disabilities into structured, accessible frameworks designed to support understanding.
How She Does It
Core Work
Focused on synthesizing complex scientific and educational information into structured frameworks that make patterns easier to understand.
Academic Training
Earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Education and Special Education, with a minor in Instructional Strategies, graduating summa cum laude, and later completed Bioinformatics coursework at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Graphic Design Foundation
Originally studied graphic design and uses Adobe Express, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop to turn complex systems into clear visual formats and infographics.
Why She Shifted to Capstones
While preparing for student teaching, she was unable to complete full-day placements while raising her autistic daughter, who at the time was nonverbal and unable to attend full days of school.
Capstone Work
Because she was unable to complete traditional student teaching placements, she transitioned into capstone projects focused on synthesizing research in education and special education related to neurodivergence and other disabilities, translating it into accessible formats for a public-facing website.
Specialization
Through this work, she developed a specialization in synthesizing and structuring complex interdisciplinary information into clear, accessible formats designed for understanding and dissemination.
Applying That Skill Set at Home
She later applied this same structured approach to support her daughter’s development, using targeted, individualized instructional strategies.
Communication Development
Using neuroplasticity-based learning principles, she implemented strategies that helped her daughter acquire speech and become fully conversational.
NeuroToggle®
She later formalized these strategies into NeuroToggle®, a neuroplasticity-based instructional framework focused on how neural circuits are built, strengthened, timed, and accessed through structured learning.
Public Clarification
She publicly shared her experience online in supporting her daughter’s communication development, specifically addressing her comorbidity of being nonverbal, in the hopes of helping other children.
Systems-Level Analysis
That clarification led to broader questions about co-occurring conditions, and she began analyzing recurring patterns across autism and comorbid traits using existing raw data and published findings across multiple scientific domains.
Framework Development
This work led to the development of conceptual, systems-level frameworks including Neurodivergent Biochemistry and Kitzerow’s Autism and the Comorbidities Theory.
