Watch this webinar to learn more about teaching and learning from the educational framework of Neurodiversity.  Our speaker, Dr. Sherri Restauri, explores why it’s imperative to create inclusive learning environments that cater to the needs of all students, including those who are neurodiverse (ND) or have varying learning needs. Unique to presentations on ND and inclusion, Dr. Restauri herself identifies as a neurodiverse Higher Education faculty member and shares teaching and learning tips for ND students, as an expert in this field and also as a ND individual who experienced (and continues to experience) challenges in learning environments not designed for brain differences. 

You’ll receive an overview of strategies and considerations necessary to create courses that are inclusive and supportive of neurodiverse students. We also explored why it’s important to take on a proactive, Universal Design of Instruction (UDI) approach and shared recommended practices that help students of all ages, backgrounds, and learning needs. 

Discover how to set up courses with built-in self-monitoring for students, how to design assignments that cater to different learning needs and abilities and multiple modalities of content representation. You won’t want to miss a deep dive into the Top 5 Helpful Tech Tools & UDL Methods for ND Students, such as the critical role that accurate closed captions can play in content accessibility. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of neurodiversity, as well as practical strategies to implement in your own course design and administration immediately.
