Overview

Devon Moore holds a B.A. in Child and Youth Studies and Sociology from Brock University, a Bachelor of Education from the University of Windsor, and is currently completing her Master of Social Work at the esteemed Wilfrid Laurier University, Faculty of Social Work, in Kitchener, Ontario. She is a passionate educator with over 16 years of experience teaching in the primary division (SK-Grade 3), and holds specialist qualifications in Special Education, Integration of Technology in the Classroom, and Reading, along with a post-graduate certificate in Reading and Literacy. Inside the System, Outside the Lines is a bold and introspective collection of essays written by Devon Moore during her Master of Social Work studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. Combining academic insight with lived experience, Moore delves into the often-invisible realities of navigating neurodivergence, disability, and systemic inequities through a social justice lens. This collection explores a range of topics, including the unique challenges faced by women with epilepsy during menopause, the design and implementation of peer-led epilepsy support groups, and critical reflections on social work theory, research, and practice. Each piece thoughtfully weaves personal narrative with scholarly analysis, making visible the gaps in support, the power of mutual aid, and the need for more inclusive and intersectional approaches within the helping professions. Moore brings a distinctive voice to this work-as a white, cisgender woman living with epilepsy and autism, and as a lifelong advocate for equity and accessibility. Her writing is unapologetically grounded in lived reality, academic rigor, and a call to action. For students, educators, social workers, and anyone invested in building a more just world, this book offers both reflection and provocation-an invitation to think critically, feel deeply, and imagine differently.
