Have you ever felt overwhelmed by student accommodations...or how to help your students with anxiety? 

You’re not alone. In an ideal world, the process would be collaborative and supportive of everyone, including faculty, but that is not the reality for most of us.

Anxiety is now the most common mental health concern on college campuses. Faculty hear about it constantly—in emails asking for extensions, in students who don’t show up, in Disability Services accommodations requests that keep arriving. And most faculty are left wondering: what am I supposed to do with all of this?

This free one-hour masterclass cuts through the noise to give you a framework that actually works—for your students and for you.

Drawing on her research in disability studies, her decades of experience as a professor, and her life experience as a neurodivergent person, Dr. Pryal will teach you...

✅ Why anxiety is a form of neurodiversity, not a deficit—and what that means for how you teach

✅ The crucial difference between accommodations, accessibility, and inclusion (and why it changes your workload)

✅ Why “resilience” is the wrong framework for mental health, and what to say instead

✅ The medical model versus the social model of disability—and how shifting your lens transforms your classroom

✅ Concrete, low-effort strategies to create an accessible classroom that reduces your labor while supporting your students

This is not a masterclass about compliance. It’s about understanding. When faculty understand what’s actually happening with their neurodivergent students, everything gets easier—the accommodations process, the extension requests, the participation grades, all of it.

This isn’t just another masterclass.

This is a lifeline for faculty who want to stop feeling powerless and start making a plan.

Come ready to rethink what support really means, for your students AND for you.
