Inclusive Pedagogies for Neurodiverse Students
Neurodiversity, the spectrum of neurological variations around learning, communication, social interaction and other cognitive functions, can impact student success in college. These cognitive processing differences, which may come with diagnoses like autism spectrum disorder, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia or dyspraxia, provide us with opportunities to use teaching strategies that help these, and all, students succeed. In this workshop we will explore teaching practices that create classrooms that better welcome neurodiverse students and are inclusive for all learners.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- Diversify their teaching strategies with inclusive practices.
- Structure their courses to support student success.
- Notice the signs of stress and anxiety in neurodiverse students and intervene.
Facilitated by: Dr. Jennifer Yates, Ph.D., assistant provost for faculty development, teaching and learning; director of the Center for Faculty Excellence; professor, psychological science, Lander University, Greenwood, SC.
