Day of Disability and Neurodiversity

The Day of Disability & Neurodiversity, hosted in partnership with the Center for Disability and Access and Disability Studies Program, recognizes the year-round importance of promoting understanding and inclusivity on campus and facilitating discussions on ways to improve access for all. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. live with a disability, and these numbers increase among the elderly. Additionally, experts are emphasizing the need to encourage understanding around neurodiversity—and that there is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, understanding, or behaving that works for everyone.

He served as the President of the State of Indiana’s Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) chapter from 2013-2014. He served a three-year term from 2019 – 2023 as a board member of AHEAD’s national organization as the Equity Officer.
