Hear from Dr. Patty Douglas, Associate Professor of Disability Studies and Exceptionalities and the inaugural Chair of Student Success and Wellness at the Faculty of Education. In the podcast, Patty discusses how her experience as a classroom teacher gave her a fire in her belly and led her to become a researcher. She discusses what neurodiversity-affirming practices are and what makes it different from the medical model of disability. She discusses the slogan, "nothing about us without us" which comes from disability activism and out of the racial justice movements - and how it can apply to neurodiversity in the classroom. She ends the discussion with some practical tips for implementing neurodiversity-affirming practices in your classroom.
