Recently, the number of neurodivergent students entering higher education has significantly increased, however, college spaces are often designed for those that are neurotypical. While the disability accommodations offered by universities are helpful, they are often insufficient for neurodivergent students to feel a sense of belonging in the classroom.
In this workshop, participants will learn ways in which neurodivergence may impact their students’ learning experiences and use that knowledge to identify how their course design may contribute to this impact. Participants will explore and reflect on what strategies they could integrate into their teaching to best support their neurodivergent students’ experience.
