Name
When Students Feel Seen: Self-Advocacy, Identity, and Joy Among Neurodivergent College Students
Time
2:00 PM - 2:50 PM (EDT)
Description

Members of the CUNY Coalition for Students with Disabilities (CCSD) have thrived in university spaces for 37 years and counting! How is this possible? The ability to experience joy, success, and inclusion as a neurodivergent student starts with the proper foundation. Environmental changes, multiple means of access, and grassroots advocacy all provide the framework. In this presentation, CCSD not only explores the ways in which we celebrate neurodivergent joy every day, but the actions taken to lead us to a place of inclusion and self-celebration.
