UDL Tip of the Week: Flexible/ Multiple Due Dates

AU's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Task Force is pleased to share weekly tips to help faculty and staff provide an inclusive learning environment for all students, regardless of differences that may impact learning. This week's tip is:

Flexible/ Multiple Due Dates

Allowing flexible or multiple due dates can help students with busy schedules, and help accommodate special requests due to a variety of circumstances (athletes who must travel for a game, or students who observe a religious holiday). This can be facilitated in person, or in Canvas using the instructions below.

April is Autism Acceptance Month

Neurodiversity and autism acceptance are slowly becoming the norm across the U.S. instead of simply awareness. A few reminders for April include: listening to autistic voices, celebrating neurodiversity and autistic joy, developing a critical awareness of organizations like Autism Speaks, and supporting autistic-led organizations such as ASAN, AWN, Autistic Inclusive Meets, Autistics for Autistics, and Yellow Ladybugs. Remember - autistic folks are not a puzzle to be solved.

Bergren Forum - Ash Julian

Ash Julian, the winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Wit and Wisdom award, will present their award-winning essay "Stranger Things Robin Buckley and the Female Autism Phenotype Theory." The essay compares the depiction of the character Robin in Stranger Things to the characteristics of female autism phenotype and posits that the character represents a positive example of a female character with autism (a type of character rarely depicted in popular culture).

The Bergren Forum takes place every Thursday lunchtime during the semester from 12:15 pm to 1:00 pm in Nevins Theater. You're welcome to bring your own lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided.

For further information, contact Paige Bock (bock@alfred.edu, (607)-871-2217) or John D'Angelo (dangelo@alfred.edu, x2821).
