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 shared 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.
Watch the recording to 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 share recommended practices that help students of all ages, backgrounds, and learning needs.
