Equitable Learning for Students with Developmental Language Disabilities

October 23 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

- $350

How do we create an environment where students with developmental language disabilities thrive? In this interactive session, we’ll explore this question and more. We’ll dive into research around culturally sustaining practices, Universal Design for Learning, and multiliteracies – practices that can be used to dismantle ableism and affirm neurodivergence. Leave this session with more knowledge and resources in fostering a classroom culture that celebrates diversity, promotes inclusivity, and empowers all learners to thrive, particularly our students labeled with developmental language disabilities.

By attending this session, participants will gain knowledge and skills toward:

  • Synergizing culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies with universal design for learning, creating a holistic approach that honors diverse learners.
  • Recognizing and addressing the complexities of multiliteracies across spoken and non-spoken modalities, ensuring comprehensive support for all learners.
  • Centering neurodiversity-affirming and anti-ableist stances in lesson planning, promoting a humanizing and equitable learning experience for every student.
