Description

Embracing neurodiversity means recognizing and welcoming the full spectrum of ways of interacting with the world as a source of richness, not just a hurdle to overcome. Disability accommodations are only the start; faculty can overtly make the classroom a safer space for all students by proactively shaping their syllabus, adjusting classroom expectations and interactions, and preparing themselves for some of the common issues that may arise in a neurodiverse environment.
