speaking as an educator and someone with adhd: in instances where the use of jargon/difficult vocabulary is unavoidable, you need to work to build what we in education call "scaffolding" which is basically providing a bridge or ladder for students to be able to navigate- https://twitter.com/Imani_Barbarin/status/1304056478643482626

more academic stuff that seems our of reach. This can come in a lot of different forms: providing an in text glossary, providing scaffolding sheets that walk students through reading the text in an accessible way, reading the text in class with the students, providing office-

hours where you can read with specific students who need help etc

Tbh I often times feel that in some circumstances, it's preferable to provide scaffolding than it is to simplify the text (at least in a higher education setting) because you're helping the student develop tools that will help them navigate the ableist educational system

Another alternative is providing a simplified text alongside the complex text- like those shakespeare books that have the original early modern english on one page and the simplified modern english on the page next to it

Basically, there are many ways to make your teaching more accessible!!! Something like "oh it's impossible to present this information in a non complex way" isn't a good excuse because there are still ways to make texts accessible without necessarily simplifying the text!

honestly I find "i will not make my work accessible at all" and "the only way to make your work more accessible is to use super basic language" to be a false dichotomy, at least within an educational context. There are so many ways educators can and should accomodate students

Here's an example of a grad school level scaffolding sheet my professor used. It's not perfect and it's not as accessible as I'd like (i need to find my undergrad scaffolding sheets bc those are very good and accessible) but it is an example u can look at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fIdIa9fJCX9pevY8H1wwmInYJFwC1ezpxRUKjKpZiAU/edit?usp=drivesdk
