Understanding Anxiety, Depression, and Associated Mental Health Disabilities
There has been an increase in students with mental health diagnoses entering higher education with comorbid disabilities that include mental health conditions and/or components. These conditions may be non-observable disabilities and can have a significant impact on student performance and classroom behavior. Understanding how such conditions are manifested in the classroom provides a basis for fostering strategic teaching methods to successfully work with and support what may have otherwise been viewed as a “disruptive” student.
Agenda
This Training will cover:
- The basics of “mood disorders” and how they translate into observed classroom performance or conduct
- Basic ADA/504 and how mental health disorders are considered a disability
- The application of classroom strategies that foster success
- Being able to address requests for accommodation and associated issues that may arise
Intended Audience
- Faculty
- Student Affairs Professionals
- ADA/Section 504 Coordinators
- Disability Services Professionals
- Advocacy and Support Services
