What: Join Catherine Getchell from CMU's Office of Disability Resources and Leigh Culley from Pitt's Disability Resources and Services to discuss neurodivergence and the accommodation process.

Some, though certainly not all, individuals who identify as neurodivergent experience disability. In this session, Leigh Culley from Pitt's Disability Resources and Services and Catherine Getchell from CMU's Office of Disability Resources discuss the reasons why someone who is neurodivergent might experience disability as a result.  We will share some common and not-so-common accommodations that may support a neurodivergent student in fully accessing their education, and how instructors and advisors can best support students in connecting students with our offices and implementing approved accommodations.
