Speaker: Kim Davis began her career as a middle and high school physical education teacher before moving on to complete her master’s degree in adapted physical education. In that work she found her niche supporting young children including children with disabilities. Currently, Kim works for the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community at the Indiana Resource Center for Autism located at Indiana University – Bloomington. She serves as a consultant providing assistance to teachers regarding positive behavior supports and classroom programming. In addition to presenting on behavior issues, Kim also presents at state and national conferences on topics including autism, movement difference, person-centered planning and recreation.

Kim is the author of Adapted Physical Education for Students with Autism and co-author of When Actions Speak Louder Than Words. She has produced and participated in numerous educational videotapes regarding young children, interviews with adults on the autism spectrum and including students in general education. Her inspiration comes from the words of the late Herb Lovett, who instilled in Kim a belief in the value of all people and the importance of building relationships through active listening and clear communication. That inspiration has helped Kim become a better advocate for those children whose behaviors may be misunderstood and who may not always be heard.
