About this book
Reviews
“This book makes an important contribution to our larger conversation about diversity and social justice in US higher education. The struggle to promote accessibility for the disabled on college campuses has tended to emphasize recognition of, and accommodations for, individuals managing physical limitations. Dr. Baker makes a compelling case that university faculty, staff, and administrators must also consider how students with neurological differences face institutional and cultural barriers to their full and robust participation in the education process. Those privileged to teach or serve a diverse student body in the 21st century will be well-served by reading this book and reflecting on how American higher education can improve its commitment to equal access and opportunity for neurodiverse students.” (Nick McRee, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Sociology and Social Work, University of Portland, USA)
