Reframing Neurodiversity as a Social Justice Imperative in Higher Education (Virtual Summit)
In this virtual summit, participants will engage in conversations about what is happening on their respective campus related to supporting neurodiverse students, faculty and staff. To that end, the Center for Embodied Equity and Neurodiversity (CEEN) at the University of San Diego will share stories and outcomes from a pilot project called: Neurodiversity Equity and Trauma Informed Approaches (NETA), a certificate program designed for Community College professionals who work closely with neurodiverse students with a special emphasis on the needs of men of color. We will end with a dialogue about current research and existing gaps.
Key Takeaways:
- Discuss the importance of viewing neurodiversity as a social justice imperative in higher education.
- Gain insights by sharing stories, successes and challenges of working with neurodiverse people in higher education.
- Explore current research and gaps related to working with people who identify as neurodiverse.
- Exchange best practice ideas for certificate programs and professional development to better equip faculty and staff to support neurodiverse students on college campuses.
