When it comes to autism, invisible disabilities, and neurodiversity, the “what” of accommodations is often discussed with college instructors and professionals: policies, checklists, compliance. But the deeper questions sometimes remain: Why? How?In this webinar, Russell Lehman, International Disability Rights Advocate at the UCLA Tarjan Center, integrated his own lived experiences with data-driven information to foster insights and inspire change to go beyond surface-level awareness and instruction — delving into why accommodations matter for neurodivergent students, and how college educators can approach and accommodate with respect and care. Our speaker focused on five unconventional yet practical approaches to supporting neurodivergent college students through understanding and access. Watch to walk away with insights toward genuine connection and empowerment, built on storytelling, practical strategies, and honest dialogue.
