Neurodivergent Educators and Researchers with Disabilities (NERDS) SIG

The Neurodivergent Educators and Researchers with Disabilities (NERDS) Special Interest Group (SIG) seeks to connect disabled and neurodivergent individuals' based on common identities and interest in advocacy, education, and support. Specifically, our foci include: (a) inclusion and belonging, (b) dismantling ableism, (c) research, (d) education and open conversations, (e) advocacy, and (f) mentorship. By enhancing belonging for disabled and neurodivergent teacher educators, this SIG will support robust membership and leadership in TED and further TED’s commitment to mutual respect and inclusion of all individuals without bias. Look for them at TED this year; they will have a spotlight session to highlight some members’ research.
