Neurodiversity: The Future of Special Education?

http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/apr17/vol74/num07/Neurodiversity@-The-Future-of-Special-Education%C2%A2.aspx?utm_content=buffer2073d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

The biggest practical difference between special education as it's currently practiced and the neurodiversity-based approach is the way in which educators emphasize either deficits or strengths. Although special educators are certainly taught to look for students' strengths, the actual infrastructure of special education doesn't provide them with much in the way of formal or informal instruments, methods, protocols, or procedures for assessing their students' strengths.

We asked prominent voices in education—from policy makers and teachers to activists and parents—to look beyond laws, politics, and funding and imagine a utopian system of learning. They went back to the drawing board—and the chalkboard—to build an educational Garden of Eden. We’re publishing their answers to one question each day this week. Responses have been lightly edited for clarity and length.

Institutionalized racism in schools, the police state, and even implicit bias in public parks and playgrounds deny Black, Brown and low socio-economic status children the fundamental right to blow dandelions, twirl, laugh out loud, race downhill and, yes, yell and bump and push and struggle -- and grow into adulthood secure in the memory of a childhood where they ran free and did play.

They also strongly reject the notion that students from low-income families should be held to lower standards, with 90 percent of both African-Americans and Latinos saying they believe expectations for low-income students should be either the same or higher than those of other students.

"They have political power that they can bring, especially now with the [new] transparency under ESSA," Henderson said. "It will [increase] their political impact and potential, but it also means they have to be organized. We hopes this information helps us to educate families, communities and parents."

Myth 4: Children with LD are just lazy or unmotivated.

This myth plagues children with ADHD, too. A learning disability is not a character flaw, and children who struggle with LD are often trying as hard — or harder — than their peers. It’s important that parents and teachers offer support and understanding; otherwise, children with learning disabilities can develop low self-esteem or set low expectations for themselves and become apathetic about school and their future.
