The Library, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, and Center for Teaching and Learning, Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Brandeis Counseling Center and Student Accessibility Services collaborate with faculty, staff, and student colleagues to offer events and resources that focus on inclusive teaching.
Brandeis colleagues can provide equitable support to all students with disabilities, even when those disabilities are less visible and affect how brains process information. Research indicates that many evidence-based “Universal Design for Learning” components offer enormous benefits for the neurodivergent students who require them as a civil rights accommodation while delivering helpful learning support for all students.
