Picture this, you’re a student in a classroom. The letters and numbers on the paper shift and move. The lights aren’t just too bright, they’re also too loud. One of your classmates apparently changed their shampoo and that’s all you can smell now. With all these stimuli, what is a learner to do? Many of the individuals we work with experience the world in a vastly different way than their able-bodied and neurotypical peers. In this live talk, we have the privilege to listen to Rebecca as she tells her story of living with sensory, auditory, and speech language processing disorders, ADHD, and Dyspraxia. Her first-hand experience while going through the education system, employment, and life will be an important lesson in perspective taking. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the potential overt and covert impacts that could occur when finding placement for learners if we only look at diagnoses and ignore the whole person.

2. Provide recommendations to improve environments in order to improve the quality of the lives of those with disabilities, impairments, diagnoses, etc. 

3. Discuss how our own stories impact and influence our professional practice.
