ATAB. when as an institution you start labeling accessibility needs as "special needs" that's how you create a perfect culture for abuse.
I'm pretty sure she got mad he calls himself autistic because he's not a child she can abuse and shows signs of agency
Normalize calling gifted programs "special needs".
why?
Because that's what they are. They're for students that have different educational needs from the majority.
that makes no sense because even the majority contains students with individual needs. universal design over segregating based on perceived ability
There's lots of variation in body sizes of people who wear medium size shirts. Why do we bother having large and small when they don't perfectly account for every difference?
that's not what universal design means in disability spaces. you should look it up
Ah, I've heard of the concept but not the term. How would that look in the context of education?
