DESCRIPTION:The Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n\n“Either you can be a
  student with a different learning process and we can acknowledge and acco
 mmodate that or you can be a successful student at a school like Schulich”
 \n\nA student at the Schulich School of Music recalled the statement above
  being made to them by a teacher at our institution. Although this situati
 on may not be typical\, too often students with different needs and learni
 ng styles face challenges at the post-secondary level. Our entire communit
 y needs to recognize that these students deserve support and encouragement
 . This is often difficult as individuals who have been met with a lack of 
 understanding in the past may be reluctant to ask for help. On Wednesday\,
  January 15th\, we will be hosting Drs. Anthea Skinner and Leon de Bruin f
 rom The University of Melbourne who will speak to us about that institutio
 n’s attempt to address these issues. The session will be held from 4:30 to
  6:00 pm in C201. Graduate students\, academic staff and support staff are
  warmly invited to attend.\n\nNeurodiverse Students in Post-Secondary Musi
 c Programs: A Whole Community Approach\n\n“Students undertaking higher edu
 cation music degrees represent a rich tapestry of experiences\, cultures a
 nd needs. However\, equity and inclusion issues related to music students 
 with disability in higher education are frequently addressed in generic wa
 ys\, and without consultation or consideration of their unique requirement
 s” (Thompson\, de Bruin\, Subiantoro & Skinner\, 2024). Drs. de Bruin and 
 Skinner formed part of a team which collected and analyzed reflections cul
 led from a number of students with disability at an Australian Conservator
 ium of Music. A good proportion of these students represented the neurodiv
 erse community. Study results indicated that there was a great need for in
 stitutional reform in dealing with the issues involved as well as for incr
 eased professional development for teachers. The researchers recommended a
  whole community approach and called for music educators\, professional st
 aff and institutional leaders to work together to implement truly inclusiv
 e best practices.\n\n\nDr. Anthea Skinner\n	McKenzie Postdoctoral Research
