Create Inclusive & Supportive Environments for Success
One of the most significant challenges that institutions face regarding neurodiversity is the pervasive stigma associated with being neurodivergent. Misconceptions and a general lack of understanding often prevail on campuses, leading to social exclusion, discrimination, and direct implications on the well-being of neurodivergent students. This stigma can discourage students from seeking essential accommodations and supports crucial to their academic success.
Our expert presenters discuss opportunities and strategies for developing awareness about neurodiversity, including promoting appropriate language and dispelling misconceptions. Explore solutions and strategies that provide more opportunity for inclusion including classroom and assignment structure, effective communication, and providing intentional feedback.
Addressing these issues requires proactive efforts to educate the campus community, promote acceptance, and create an environment where neurodivergent individuals feel valued, supported and empowered to thrive.
