Integrating Neurodivergent K-12 Students and Staff into School Emergency Management Planning. Fact Sheet
Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center (REMS)
Taking an inclusive and equitable approach to emergency management planning means considering the needs of all populations, and neurodivergent individuals are entitled to the same emergency services as neurotypical individuals. Core planning teams should team up with disability specialists, parents and guardians, and Individualized Education Program or Section 504 teams familiar with the student's needs to adjust the school emergency operations plan (EOP) so that it is ready to accommodate a range of neurodivergences in a variety of settings. This fact sheet contains suggested strategies for core planning teams as they engage in school EOP development.
