In today's episode, you'll hear an interview with Lindsay Griendling, a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Virginia. As a former special educator serving students across urban, suburban, and rural middle school settings, she saw firsthand how ambiguous policy terms flow through federal, state, and local systems to perpetuate inequities among adolescents with dis/abilities from minoritized racial/ethnic backgrounds. These experiences inform her research, which centers around supporting effective communication across special education policy and practice to improve schooling experiences and outcomes for multiply-marginalized youth. During the interview, Lindsay shared a wealth of ideas to support the needs of students with disabilities.
