About

Graduate school did not prepare me to work in an "open enrollment" community college, nor did it prepare me to teach students with what society calls "neurological disabilities" like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Dyslexia. What I've found from my own experience is that teachers and universities are not prepared to deal with students who we tend to label (and pre-judge) as neurologically disabled in some way. When it comes to Neurodiversity, we've had it wrong for too long by considering these students disabled instead of diverse.

Part of the Neurodiversity movement demands that we strive to understand these students for their talents, and provide accommodations based on accessibility and not disability.
