Disability Stigma in the Black Community and the Overdiagnosis of Behavioral Disorders
Thursday March 20, 2025 4:30pm - 4:55pm EDT
Kentucky International Convention Center, M116
In schools focused on test scores over all else, neurodivergent Black children are some of the most marginalized when it comes to resource access because the fear of disability labels in African American communities fuel stereotypes that perceive Black children as an aggressive plague in our schools. Learn how art educators can advocate for our BIPOC students.
