You are invited (CUNY students, faculty, and staff) to join the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH) Office of Accessibility Services in celebrating our fourth annual CUNY Disability Awareness Month at SPH. Disabled people are the largest marginalized and underrepresented community. CUNY-wide, students with invisible disabilities, or sometimes called hidden disabilities, are provided with more accommodations than any other category of disabilities or disabling medical conditions, which includes students with adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Join Ellie Grossman, PhD student at the CUNY Graduate Center for a workshop on time and task skills. Ellie will use her training experience working with neurodivergent adolescents and young adults to build adaptive skills, as well as her knowledge of what it takes to engage in creative processes (like research!), to walk us through using time effectively and task management through techniques, tools, and resources to stay on task. Ellie will also use her lived experience with ADHD to identify some of the unique experiences that graduate students with ADHD face, and ways that time management and other strategies can help us not only achieve school-based success, but success in wellbeing and work-life balance. This workshop is open to all CUNY students, faculty, and staff – ADHDers and non-ADHDers!
Ellie Grossman is a neurodivergent (ADHD) PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology at The CUNY Graduate Center. Her focus is on working with transition-age autistic people (anywhere from early teens to early 30s) to build adaptive skills to help them achieve personal and professional success. Much of her research emphasizes creativity, including how to create opportunities for creativity in classrooms with autistic students and how we can use creativity and creative methodologies to teach life skills.
