This two-part workshop focuses on the challenges and rewards of university teaching at
a moment when students are increasingly open about being neurodivergent (ND).
Across two sessions, we will cover topics such as: the medical, legal, and social models of
disability and how these play out on university campuses; masking, stimming, and other
foundations of ND culture for neurotypical (NT) instructors; managing accommodations
and classroom dynamics in neurodiverse classrooms; and the craft of creating courses,
assignments, and assessments that support ND students and ND faculty.
Participants will have a greater understanding of ND students and experiences, and
pragmatic tools for immediate classroom implementation.

The Inclusive Pedagogy series is a dynamic and eclectic approach for adopting a holistic approach to supporting students from various backgrounds. Although learning is a cognitive process, it is also a social and emotional one as well. Proactive instructors can foster a sense of belonging in the classroom by building trust and increasing social awareness through various techniques. This series of workshops is intended for all faculty (e.g., adjunct, assistant, associate, clinical, etc.), teaching assistants, and professional staff who work as academic advisors or directly involved in student development.
Participants will attend 90-minute sessions monthly. Those not able to attend in-person can elect to attend via Zoom. Lunch is provided monthly for in-person participants and registration is encouraged. Participants will be provided with a workbook with content from each session.
Part IV: Register on B-engaged
Date: November 10, 2026 Location: UU-111 Time: 11:30am - 1pm
Topic: “Inclusive pedagogy for neurodivergent instructors: working with
ourselves”
This two-part workshop focuses on the challenges and rewards of university teaching at
a moment when students are increasingly open about being neurodivergent (ND).
Across two sessions, we will cover topics such as: the medical, legal, and social models of
disability and how these play out on university campuses; masking, stimming, and other
foundations of ND culture for neurotypical (NT) instructors; managing accommodations
and classroom dynamics in neurodiverse classrooms; and the craft of creating courses,
assignments, and assessments that support ND students and ND faculty.
Participants will have a greater understanding of ND students and experiences, and
pragmatic tools for immediate classroom implementation.
Instructor:
Bridget Whearty, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, English Department at Binghamton University and Faculty Affiliate
in Medieval Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Dr. Whearty is also a 2026 SUNY Accessibility Advocate and Faculty Fellow

Over the past few years, the workplace has changed its response to meeting the needs of employees with disabilities. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1 in 5 adults will experience a mental illness each year. Based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA,) supervisors and managers need to know how to respond to accommodation requests and how to interact with employees if a disability is disclosed (or not disclosed). In accordance with policy, this training will provide participants with best practices and an understanding of procedures to support faculty/staff and student employees with disabilities to improve accessibility.
