In May, Campus Life presented an opportunity for the UMBC community to learn how to develop inclusive practices to best support neurodivergent students and employees.
The virtual workshop was facilitated by Rowan University’s Chiara Latimer, co-director of the Center for Neurodiversity and program coordinator of the Autism Path Program, and John Woodruff, senior director of accessibility services and co-director of the Center for Neurodiversity.
The talk included information on the definition of neurodiversity and an overview of successful collaborations at Rowan University with offices such as Accessibility Services, Housing, Wellness Centers, Pet Therapy, the Center for Neurodiversity, and Autism Path.
