Neurodiversity and Dis/ability: Untangling Our Roots to Embody Equity and Justice

• In Event: Dis/ability and Neurodiversity: Untangling Our Roots to Embody Equity and Justice

Abstract

The presenters will engage in dialogue across the continuum of disabilities and service delivery–special and general education–to imagine new and just futures. This opportunity to construct new visions for teaching and teacher education will urge ongoing examinations of the roles of ableism and racism and how we can intentionally develop critical teachers prepared to create truly inclusive classrooms. Elliot has developed and implemented an Embodied Inclusion framework to support teachers' inclusion of neurodiverse learners.
