💭 Weekly Wednesday Thoughts I wonder what it could look like for higher education institution to PAY therapists to run therapy groups for diverse/BIPOC/queer STAFF. I believe that we need spaces where we can sit, talk about, and process the different oppressions, challenges, and even privilege's that we experience being a diverse person in higher ed and how these oppressions and privilege's impact our day to day work. ❔ Speaking for myself, the different diverse identities that I hold and oppressions that I experience from society inform the way that I show up day to day at work. If it weren't for these, I would've never developed a passion to create spaces where diverse students feel seen, known, and heard. #highereducation #diversityequityinclusion #oppression #foodforthought

Understanding Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) is crucial for tailored support, including literacy. Your service coordinator guides this transition, evaluating needs for an IEP, 504 plan, or no accommodations. An IEP goes beyond mere accommodation; it's a personalized plan addressing learning challenges during academic changes, protected under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  Connect with our Education Coordinator, Anna Tess Ed.D, for help: https://lnkd.in/dmaRaGuh  #education #IEP #IEPmeeting #deafchildren #inclusionmatters #resource
