Facilitated by Dr. Maria Hasenhuttl and Dr. Karen Huxtable-Jester
Neurodiversity refers to the differences among all people in how they perceive and respond to the world because brains work in different ways. The differences among people, whether formally identified or not, may be considered typical or atypical, disabling or beneficial, and can vary along these dimensions across time and circumstances.
The term “neurodivergent” encompasses conditions like dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, autism and Tourette syndrome. Neuro-inclusive teaching focuses on creating strategies that support all students without labeling or isolating individuals. By emphasizing flexibility, choice and transparency, educators can enhance learning experiences and foster a sense of belonging. This interactive workshop will explore these effective practices.
