Next Steps: Diverse Learners Research Project |
Introduction
We appreciate your interest in the Black Diverse Learners Research and Systems Mapping project in the Hamilton/Halton Region. Our team of Black researchers are excited to learn about your experiences and recommendations.
We encourage all Black neurodivergent youth, as well as parents, caregivers, siblings, disability specialists, community educators, and Black community organizations, to participate.
Please register for one of our safe and confidential focus groups or interviews. You will be compensated $50 honoria.
The Project: Black peer researchers with disabilities (16-30 years old) in the Halton–Hamilton region collaborate with the Ase Community Foundation for Black Canadians with Disabilities, Centre for Diverse Learners, and Afro-Canadian Caribbean Association of Hamilton.
This systems mapping project aims to:
a) identify structural and systemic barriers within the educational systems and community supports
b) document system navigation strategies, successes and challenges.
b) Inform system-based solutions and approaches that are Black youth-focused, culturally relevant, and accessible.
We want to create a fully accessible and comfortable experience for everyone. Please let us know if you need accommodation or other support. This may include questions in advance, ASL, a support person, etc.
