PHILADELPHIA — Before you update or renovate residence halls, student unions, recreation centers, or other on-campus facilities frequently trafficked by your students, keep in mind that designing for neurodiversity can make a significant difference in overall student success.
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and throughout the month, many disability services offices have highlighted employment for those with disabilities. But why not maintain these activities? In conjunction with your institution's career services and related offices, you can continue the emphasis on targeted employment skills and available assistance for students with disabilities.

I recently sat through a very elementary presentation on executive presence. The presenter walked through appropriate dress and basic etiquette for a variety of professional settings. I was slightly annoyed that the presenter had chosen to spend so much time with adult professionals going over things I’d learned in my teenage-era etiquette classes and in real-time professional contexts. And then it occurred to me that, since coronavirus disease and the shift to mostly remote work, the blending of personal and professional spaces has likely meant a blurring of the lines of what is socially acceptable.
As disability services offices increasingly serve students who seek to modify academic requirements — attendance and deadline modifications, so-called memory aids for closed book exams, course substitutions for mathematics and foreign language requirements, emotional support animals, and roommate-free housing accommodations — it's easy to forget that the Americans with Disabilities Act also obligates schools to provide intra-campus travel accommodations to students with mobility impairments. Students who cannot travel independently on campus face barriers to access that have literally nothing to do with academic requirements.

A recent study from researchers at Rutgers University has found that individuals with cognitive disabilities face barriers to accessing health care services (https://ifh.rutgers.edu/highlight/adults-with-cognitive-disabilities-are-more-likely-to-have-worse-experiences-with-health-care-system/). Past studies have primarily examined the perspective of providers, whereas this study focuses on the experiences of individuals with disabilities.
