155 Accessible Academics for students with disabilities with Lisa Mihalich Quinn
Jan 30, 2025
If you have struggled with making a neurotypical math curriculum work for your child with disabilities, whether Down Syndrome or Autism or other disabilities that impact their sensory-motor profile,
If you have a child who communicates via AAC, or is an unreliable speaker, or a Speller - perhaps they use RPM or S2C,
you may find that either "regular" Math is not available to your child, or not accessible.
In this episode, Lisa Mihalich Quinn and I have a hard but necessary conversation on the gaps in special ed, and what needs to happen to make academics accessible for ALL STUDENTS!
Lisa has been doing this for years, and is one of the leaders in accessible academics for students with disabilities. She is also a huge advocate for non-speakers who spell / type to communicate.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Presuming competence in non-speaking and minimally speaking autistic students
- The role of assistive technology in promoting communication and learning
- Creating inclusive classrooms through collaboration between parents, educators, and students
- Communication for Education training and its impact on global educators
