Topic Area: Student Success
Presented by: Jackie Heymann
Abstract:
This workshop will engage participants in critically reflecting on their classroom and co-curricular spaces, the neurotypical “norms” expected of students within those spaces, and the additional challenges experienced by neurodivergent students when those norms are enforced. Then, using the framework of the social and the social justice models of disability, participants will identify tangible action steps they can take to create spaces that are more welcoming of neurodivergent students.
