Fostering a Community of Success for Neurodivergent Collegiate Students - Paperback

by Carol Rogers-Shaw (Editor), Tulare Williams Park (Editor), Kayla D. Mohney (Editor)

Neurodiversity and its challenges require a collective effort of support and understanding in education, especially in college communities. Collaborative approaches in understanding and engaging students, faculty, staff, and administrators can create safe environments where neurodivergent individuals feel valued and supported. By acknowledging the strengths and challenges that come with different cognitive styles, colleges can implement strategies that not only accommodate students with conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, but also promote a richer, more diverse academic experience for everyone. Fostering a Community of Success for Neurodivergent Collegiate Students explores various aspects of neurodiversity on college campuses, with a focus on collaborative initiatives that promote inclusivity, foster community engagement, and support the successful transition to college and the workplace for neurodivergent individuals. It highlights the collaborative efforts to create truly inclusive environments where neurodivergent students belong. Covering topics such as accessibility, self-advocacy, and university experiences, this book is an excellent resource for administrators, faculty members, program directors, curriculum designers, and more.
