On “Psychology Behind the Headlines”, hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Dr. Cortina Peters discuss the systemic barriers that prevent students of color with disabilities from getting the educational support they need.
Addressing Parental Concerns
Negative past experiences with special education can impact parents’ decisions today. Schools need to improve communication and explain the benefits and processes clearly.
Understanding Bias
Unconscious bias can influence how we perceive and support students with disabilities. Educators need training to address this and provide equitable care.
Demystifying Special Education
Schools must make information about special education processes accessible and explain the potential advantages for students.
