Supporting Neurodivergent Students in Higher Ed & Challenging Discrimination: Human Rights & Social Justice
Featuring the work of three lived experience activists, including Bowen Cho (founder of Neurodivergent U), Nev Jones (University of Pittsburgh), and Shira Collings (National Empowerment Center), this webinar will present on current barriers to inclusion and integration in higher education, including threat assessment and response protocols that in many cases target neurodivergent students, campus initiated involuntary commitment and involuntary/mandated leaves of absence. Lived experience will be woven throughout. The webinar will conclude with a panel discussion regarding transformative strategies for change.
Objectives:
1. Explain three ways in which campus threat protocols disproportionately single out and potentially harm students with disabilities
2. Describe the range of mandated leave policies across college campuses and how these can harm students
3. Articulate three strategies for transformative change
