Jared Stewart

Jared was named the 2011 Educator of the Year by the National Association of Private Special Education Centers, the 2018 Presenter of the Year by the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs, and the 2020 Hero for Autism by the Autism Resources of Utah County. He is a Program Director for ScenicView Academy and an adjunct professor at UVU. He helps run their annual conference on Autism and assists with the Melisa Nellesen Centers’ Passages Program as an instructor and curriculum developer.

In 2016, the governor appointed him to the Utah Developmental Disabilities Council. Jared has spent almost two decades working with autistic adolescents and adults. His passion for autism arises from personal experience: he has numerous family members on the Spectrum and was diagnosed with autism as an adult. In his rare free moments, Jared enjoys reading, hiking, writing, and spending time with his wife and three children.
