UCD Celebrating International Day of Persons with Disabilities #IDPD2023
In a Nutshell, Disability and Neurodiversity Inclusion in UCD
UCD Disability Subgroup and UCD Neurodiversity Group celebrated International Day of Persons with Disabilities with an event showcasing projects, research, and supports available in UCD for disabled and neurodivergent employees. In a nutshell, speakers had 5 minutes and one slide to share their work on disability and neurodiversity.
We also invited members of the UCD community to send us nutshells on their work. Learn about disability and neurodiversity in UCD by exploring the videos and slides.
