SUMMARY:Capilano Universe Lecture: Rethinking Inclusion Through a Neurodiversity-Affirming Lens (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Despite decades of reform\, inclusive education often stops at policy compliance rather than fostering authentic belonging. This talk explores how schools can move beyond technical solutions to cultivate genuine inclusion grounded in empathy\, reflection\, and shared responsibility. Drawing from her doctoral research\, Kinza Pirzada (EdD\, MPEd\, MSc) examines how systemic ableism and professional norms shape educational experiences for neurodivergent learners. Through stories from the field\, she illustrates how educators and leaders can shift from “managing difference” to embracing diversity as a source of innovation and growth. This session invites participants to imagine schools as communities where all learners feel seen\, valued\, and connected.
