Neurodivergent Students: Balancing the Law with Quality Behavioral Instruction

Providing high-quality behavioral instruction to neurodivergent students can sometimes seem like a balancing act between adhering to the law and meeting their educational and social needs. According to the law, "neurodivergence" covers autistic students, students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, mental health conditions, learning disabilities, etc. However, not every neurodivergent child believes they have a disability. A high-quality education for neurodivergent children is mandated by federal laws such as the ADA, IDEA, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These laws can sometimes seem elusive, even in special education. Following the required disciplinary protocols, administering functional behavioral assessments, and making numerous data-driven interventions can be time-consuming and challenging for special education professionals. Sherrice Perry, a school law attorney with experience in special education, will provide practical guidance regarding how to provide high-quality behavioral instruction to neurodivergent students.
