About Neurodiversity 101: Disclosures and Reasonable Adjustments

This practical and empowering workshop explores the complexities of disclosing disability and seeking reasonable adjustments in study and work environments.  This session will unpack the legal rights, social dynamics, and structural barriers involved in navigating access.

We’ll begin by clarifying what “disclosure” means—formally and informally—and discuss why, when, and how people choose to disclose (or not). Drawing on real-world examples and lived experience, we’ll explore the emotional labor, risks, and pressures often associated with disclosure in ableist settings.

Next, we’ll unpack what counts as a reasonable adjustment, what rights and responsibilities are involved, and how to negotiate for support without needing to overexpose personal information.

• Duration: 1 hour per class

• Structure:
