I have to compartmentalize. I have to make things black and white. I have to reduce arguments down to the ultimate question.
I have to do all of these things because my brain is a chaotic tangle of interconnections and overlapping thoughts.
In order to sort, I need to first simplify.

If you are a student (grad students included) and a professor or a supervisor denies your request for disability accommodations, just want to post this reminder that you're not without options. Some of these suggestions may entail more work than others, and none are a guarantee, but you are entitled to reasonable accommodations in the US. Yes, this really does include grad students.

Yes, I started writing this blog post on technology to make writing easier when you have ADHD a long, long time ago.
That said, it's meant to be a resource. Have suggestions or different experiences? Please share!

Another potential resource for neurodivergent folks in #HigherEd is ReASoN. If you're looking for some community, check them out. They're relatively new and based out of the UK, but they have online meetings and speakers. Check out ReASoN's website for more resources and recordings of their talks.

Another resource I absolutely love is IncludEdu.
IncludEdu is a website for assistive technology. It's built for an audience of educators/younger learners BUT do not let that fool you. I have discovered lots of great plugins on IncludEdu.
You can search by Apple, Microsoft, or Google. Good source for accommodation ideas!

All The Things ADHD is a great podcast by two academics: @Readywriting and Aimée Morrison.
If you're looking for some particularly good places to start, I recommend S5 E8 Neurodivergent college survival tips, S4 E13: What if, wait for it, we didn’t have to fundamentally change who we are to be successful?, and S4 E21: The Sh*t Sandwich.

Another potential resource comes from Disabled Academic Collective. They did a thread a while ago on digital resources for disabled folks who wanted to find community online. They compiled the answers into "Community Resources" and posted it to their Resources page.

Disabled In Higher Ed's "Disabled in STEM/Academia Literature" spreadsheet is a collection of articles, blogs, etc. that may interest disabled students, staff, faculty, and anyone invested in accessibility in higher education.
Bonus for ADHD folks: there are summaries of what each item is.

Another resource is @DisabledInSTEM's Accessibility Review Form. This disability resource is for students (although I would love a version for staff/faculty...).
It's relatively new but a great place to check for academic ableism, success stories, and students can (& should) add to it.

For all of the academics on here who are learning about #accessibility and adding image descriptions, please take that inclusive energy with you the next time a student gives you their accommodation letter from the disability office or when you're considering your attendance policy.
Even better, consider reading up about #UniversalDesignForLearning or #UDL.
