What: This is the foundation session for the series.

What do the terms neurodiversity and neuroinclusive mean and how do they relate to neurodivergence? How can instructors support neurodivergent students in the classroom? This introductory seminar will unpack these terms, the strengths and challenges of neurodivergent students, and offer an overview of the pedagogical practices that can support these learners. Participants will have a chance to engage with a specific practice and then collectively brainstorm strategies for use in their own teaching contexts. Please join us for this first, foundational seminar in this series!
