I am very proud of the latest article from our team at the Inclusive Education Research Lab: "An Investigation into Student Perceptions of Social Justice Frames in a Course Syllabus."

Higher ed friends: students are hit with a lot of rules, deadlines, and policies when classes started. Reminders don't mean they aren't taking college seriously. Your ADHD students will appreciate the reminders and I'm guessing they won't be the only ones.
Extend some grace these first few weeks!

If you're launching into a new semester soon or prepping for it, check out if you have any practices in your course that aren't so ADHD-friendly.
Multi-part questions, inconsistent deadlines, and other seemingly harmless choices can make a BIG difference for your ADHD students.

"Expressing ideas in a new way is a useful exercise for any learner, but can be particularly helpful for neurodivergent learners."

Templates need not crush creativity or box #ADHD students in. Make clear that they are a guide: an idea for those needing some structure and guidance, the ADHD minds with too many ideas.
What is always bad news is when a major deduction is given for some small aspect of the template that WAS required, but it's hidden in the small print or it's on the rubric but not the template. ADHD makes it harder to identify these tiny & inconsistent details.

It's 2024 and we're still doing laptop bans in classrooms, huh?
For the millionth time, technology bans are incredibly ableist. There's no discussion to be had.
Requiring disabled students to out themselves as disabled in order to use their technology in class makes you a poor educator.

Today, I'll be presenting a second paper at #ASEEannual. This paper summarizes lessons shared through The Grainger College of Engineering Lab & Design Community of Practice over the past three years. We hope it will help other instructors teaching undergraduate engineering laboratory courses. Stop by the @asee_nee Technical Session at 1:30 pm in E144 to learn more. If you can't make it check out the details here: https://go.engineering.illinois.edu/CoP24Paper

Honestly, just be kind to your students and you're vastly more inclusive than 75% of other educators in higher ed.

Even if protests are not going on our own campuses, that doesn't mean students aren't distressed by the general climate and what is going on at campuses like UCLA and Emory. Not a bad time to be gentle with students.

Timely reminder that disabilities are fluid. A person may be symptomatic one day and fine the next. A student may not need accommodations during the semester, but the end of the term rush may make accommodations very necessary. This does NOT mean the student is faking it or taking advantage of you.

Remembered I haven't listened to one of @anngagne 's Accessagogy podcast in forever so now I'm able to binge a bunch while writing and downloading data. Life is good.
ADHD folks, podcasts are 10 min long and include transcripts, so very ADHD-friendly.

“Mathematics is a battle, but I’ve learned to survive”: becoming a disabled student in university mathematics https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10649-024-10311-x
"rather than understanding the “dis” in disability negatively, the university mathematics education communities may use dis by disrupting order. Perhaps, we ask, if university mathematics fails to enable accessible learning experiences for students who care about mathematics, these practices should indeed be disrupted."

Access is not (only) using alt text. Access is considering the barriers in place for disabled folks and removing as many of them as possible. It's using plain language, it's color contrast, it's knowing that access needs can sometimes conflict. Access is a moving target but it's worth moving for.

Providing templates for students increases accessibility. Maybe they don't follow the template exactly, and that's okay.
Having a template helps ADHD brains organize and it provides a starting point when thoughts are flying everywhere and a million connections are being made.

Reminder for all educators, Ramadan has started or will start soon so please be aware of fasting students. This may not be a great time for field work, you can potentially expect lower energy from students if your class time is at the end of the day, and if you can change any celebrations involving food to a different date, that would probably be appreciated.

Educators can be more inclusive by saying no to inconsistent deadlines, poorly organized reminders and directions, bans on laptops or doodling in class, convoluted multi-part questions, and other forms of academic ableism. It may not seem like it, but these are all barriers affecting your ADHD students, your traumatic brain injury students, and other brain-based disabilities.

CW: Ableism
Academic Ableism examples:
-Strict in-person attendance policies.
-Invisible goal posts and expectations.
-Unorganized syllabus and course schedules.
-Dense text without headings in syllabus.
-Images without image descriptions.
-Refusing to provide slides/materials in advance.#InclusiveTeaching #AcademicChatter #Disability #InclusionMatters #HigherEd #Ableism

Just popped up on my feed on another site: "Care does not just belong at home: inclusion in doctoral supervision for a student with traumatic brain injury."
It's always nice to see publications on higher ed and disability beyond undergrad.
It's not open access but I'm sure if you email the author they would be happy to send a copy.

Can't remember where I found this link but it's been sitting in one of my tabs for a while. Neurodivergent students (or profs looking for ways to help their neurodivergent students) may find this free assemblage of tools for Windows helpful.
Anyone tried it?

Ahh, the balancing act of
respecting the needs of those students (sometimes or perhaps often? ADHD) who don't write outlines and drafts and just write the entire paper in one go the night before
yet wanting to make sure they have some sort of safety net just in case...

If it is important information, it needs to be given to students in MULTIPLE forms. You cannot omit important info from your slides, only speak that info verbally, test (in some form) that info, and then be surprised or upset when they don't do well. Some students have #AuditoryProcessingDisorder, others might be hard of hearing, others #ADHD, etc. The diagnosis & the #disability (official or not) do not matter; the #accessibility does. Your #teaching is not accessible.

The end of the semester is not a bad time to share with students resources they can use to network, find mentors, and find community.
Groups like Científico Latino, Latinas in STEM, SACNAS, AISES, Disabled Academic Collective, sisterSTEM, VanguardSTEM, and discipline-specific ones.
These orgs may not have a chapter at your university, but they have online resources that can really help and inspire students.

There are sooooooooooo many ways to engage with students and have them participate!
If you're only doing typical classroom discussions, you're leaving a lot of options on the table. Options that could help introverted, anxious, and autistic folks, folks who speak a language other than English at home, and many others.
C'mon, get a little creative educators...Give students options.

You can structure your course or workshop so it's more ADHD-friendly and you'll likely help more than the ADHD folks.

If you have any resources you find helpful for teaching ADHD students or as an educator yourself with ADHD, please let me know. I would love to add more resources to my site, particularly resources from folks with ADHD.
