In this episode of The Inclusive Dad Podcast, host AAron welcomes Rebecca Prejean, CEO of EB Graphics & Consulting, to discuss how her personal journey as a parent of an autistic child led to building a business focused on accessible design and inclusive learning. Rebecca shares insights about navigating Texas school systems, creating neurodivergent-friendly workplaces, and how empathy and environment—not deficits—drive success. Her blend of lived experience and professional expertise offers practical tips for parents, educators, and employers alike. If you’ve ever wondered how inclusion can be both personal and profitable, this conversation is a must-listen.

Key Takeaways:

Environment Matters – Struggles often reflect the system, not the child—change the atmosphere, and growth follows.

Inclusive Design – Accessibility must be built in from the beginning, not added later—whether in classrooms or companies.

Empathy First – Before judging, consider unseen factors; pause and ask, "What else could be happening?"

Listen to Neurodivergent Voices – Diverse thinkers spot details, innovate solutions, and challenge norms—making businesses stronger.

Parent Advocacy is Ongoing – Inclusion isn’t a checkbox—it requires consistent work, year after year, in schools and beyond.

Rebecca Prejean’s definition of inclusion:

Inclusion means to include. It's to make sure that everybody has what they need to succeed.
