Education, will explore the state of the literature on research regarding mathematics and students with disabilities. While a broad topic, Bouck will spend time exploring current research methodologies to explore mathematics and students with disabilities, current interventions explored in the research, current mathematical domain foci within the literature, and what is known about evidence-based practices. Although she will try to be inclusive, the majority of the highlighted literature will discuss students with learning disabilities as well as students with intellectual disability, autism, and other developmental disabilities \u2014 two populations that have received the majority of attention in the disability and mathematics education research.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column27779_7d7d5e-dc > .kt-inside-inner-col{display:flex;}.kadence-column27779_7d7d5e-dc > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column27779_7d7d5e-dc >

in the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Special Education. Her research focuses on mathematics education for students with disabilities and those at-risk. Bouck examines the response to intervention (RTL) for mathematics at the elementary and secondary level as well as mathematical interventions to support students with disabilities or those receiving RTL Tier 2 or Tier 3 services. Within her work on mathematical interventions, Bouck examines such technological approaches as virtual manipulatives and the virtual manipulative-based instructional sequences. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );max-width:1268px;padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11{background-image:linear-gradient(235deg,rgb(8,46,88) 0%,rgb(65,118,161) 100%);}.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id27779_63a792-11 alignfull kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column27779_7f2921-67 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column27779_7f2921-67\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"]{max-width:800px;margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;text-align:center;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"] a, .kt-adv-heading-link27779_cfab2e-d5, .kt-adv-heading-link27779_cfab2e-d5 .kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"]{color:#ffffff;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"] a:hover, .kt-adv-heading-link27779_cfab2e-d5:hover, .kt-adv-heading-link27779_cfab2e-d5:hover .kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\"]{color:#ffffff;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-white-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_cfab2e-d5\">&nbsp;<br>Click the button below to join this presentation on Zoom (Attendees will be added to a waiting room when they join at 1 p.m. on June 15).

2026<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> <\/strong>In this session, Dr. Katherine Aquino and Dr. Adam R. Lalor, co-editors of&nbsp;<em>The New Accessibility in Higher Education: Disrupting the System for an Inclusive Future<\/em>, explored how collaborative scholarship can catalyze meaningful change in organizational environments, particularly within higher education. Drawing on years of a research partnership, Drs. Aquino and Lalor discussed how their shared commitment to accessibility and disability equity is enhanced, rather than constrained, by their distinct disciplinary perspectives, methodological approaches, and professional trajectories.<br>&nbsp;<br>Centering insights from their new Oxford University Press volume, the presenters highlighted emerging frameworks for understanding accessibility as a dynamic, systemic responsibility rather than a transactional accommodation process. They discussed the ways in which institutional practices, policies, and cultures shape disabled students\u2019 experiences, and how scholars can actively participate in reshaping these environments toward greater equity.<br>&nbsp;<br>Because Project TIDES supports postdoctoral researchers working at the intersection of disability and STEM education, the speakers connected their work to broader questions of research identity formation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and developing a sustained line of inquiry. They shared concrete examples of how their own research partnership has evolved (spanning higher education policy, organizational theory, disability studies, and student experience research), and offered practical strategies for building and nurturing collaborative scholarly relationships.<br><br>The session concluded with time for questions and a focused consultation period with TIDES postdoctoral fellows, emphasizing how early-career scholars can strategically and collaboratively shape their research pathways toward transformative impact.<strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Presenter Bios:<\/strong> <\/strong>Katherine C. Aquino, Ph.D., is a social scientist and educational researcher. She currently serves as the Executive Director for Research Training and Development in the School of Graduate Studies at Rutgers University. She previously served as Associate Professor in the Department of Administrative and Instructional Leadership and the Associate Dean for Innovation and Partnerships in the School of Education at St. John\u2019s University. Dr. Aquino holds a B.S. in Psychology, an M.A. in School Psychology, a Ph.D. in Higher Education Policy, and an Advanced Certificate in Instructional Design and Delivery. Her research focuses on disability and accessibility in the organizational environment and investigates the complexity of disability in the postsecondary setting. Katherine has significant experience in program development and review, accreditation, and assessment initiatives, and works with organizations to ensure data integrity, compliance, and program effectiveness.<br><br>Adam Lalor, Ph.D. serves as Vice President of Neurodiversity Research and Innovation at Landmark College and is a research faculty member within the College\u2019s online, certificate program in Learning Differences and Neurodiversity. With two decades of experience in higher education, he has served in instructional, research, and administrative capacities. Dr. Lalor\u2019s research focuses on college success for disabled students, the preparation of educators to serve disabled students, and neurodiversity. His research has appeared in the Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, LD: A multidisciplinary Journal, and the Journal of Diversity in Higher Education. Co-author of the book From Disability to Diversity: College Success for Students with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder, he is sought after by colleges, universities, nonprofit organizations, corporate entities, and the government to serve as a speaker and consultant. An advocate for neurodivergent and disabled people, he serves in leadership positions within the Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA) and the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD).

This talk invited attendees into the universe Dr. Kat Stephens-Peace (she\/her) is actively constructing as a higher education faculty member and researcher, Caribbean research methodologist, arts-based research methodologist, and accessibility-focused intellectual. Rather than present a linear career narrative, Dr. KSP offered a map of research agendas, theoretical commitments, and methodological orientations that do not sit nearly alongside one another so much as they orbit, intersect, and illuminate. Drawing upon her grounding in Black Disability Studies, Literature, Critical and Intersectional ADHD Studies, and creative qualitative inquiry, Dr. KSP traced the intellectual and personal coordinates that have shaped how she sees higher education, who she researches with, and who she researches for, and accessibility\u2019s place as not only a focus of her work, but a philosophy that runs throughout.<br>&nbsp;<br>This talk provided an honest account of navigating academia as a multi-passionate faculty member who refuses to collapse into one lane or frame. Attendees encountered the throughlines connecting her research projects, understandingn what her work contributes to while challenging the field of higher education. Dr. KSP shared the intellectual traditions she draws on, as an interdisciplinary, disability focused, higher education researcher.

In this talk, three common models for representing STEM education are presented and discussed. Disciplinary-based educational research draws on perspectives from within STEM disciplines and asks how effective educational strategies can support outcomes important to the field. The science of broadening participation seeks to ensure access to STEM learning for all students and that pathways to STEM careers are widely available. Finally, the learning sciences have often drawn on insights from an array of diverse disciplines to demonstrate how effective instructional practices and evidence-based models of student learning can shape outcomes that matter across STEM fields (&amp; beyond).&nbsp;<br><strong>Presenter Bio: <\/strong>Justin Dimmel is associate dean for academics and student engagement in the University of 海角社区 College of Education and Human Development, where he also serves as an associate professor of mathematics education and instructional technology in the School of Learning and Teaching.

By highlighting variations in both definition and operationalization of the term \u201cdisability\u201d and related constructs, it becomes clear that disability is part of a complex web of meaning with clear implications both for daily life and for academic research. Moreover, by demonstrating the varying ways we can and should conceptualize disability, this presentation will highlight how inattention to various facets of disability experience can be understood as a key feature of normal social science. The presentation closes by arguing that this inattention has real and lasting consequences for how and when disabled people can receive diagnoses, think about disability as a feature of their identity, and experience constructed environments.&nbsp;<br><strong>Presenter Bio:<\/strong> Ezekiel \u201cZeke\u201d Kimball is Professor and Dean of the University of 海角社区 College of Education and Human Development.
