Leveraging Strengths of Neurodiverse Students in the Classroom
This workshop will provide participants with an overview of neurodiversity and explore what a strength based and neuroaffirming perspective entails.
Many times the discussion around learning and neurodiversity is deficit based. While it is important to consider the very real learning challenges that many neurodiverse students face in higher education, it is equally critical to highlight the numerous strengths associated with different neurotypes such as ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, mental health challenges and consider ways to help students leverage strengths for learning.
