In this interactive workshop, we will discuss
neurodiversity which recognizes the diversity of neurological
experiences and acknowledges that there are multiple ways that students
think and learn. The workshop will include an overview of neurodiversity
and common challenges and barriers that neurodivergent students might
experience in the college classroom. Strategies to create more
neurodiverse inclusive courses will be provided as well as examples of
how these strategies can positively impact student success. Jenny
Spring, Access Coordinator from Accessibility Network will provide
information on the accommodations process for neurodivergent students
and the last portion of the workshop will be dedicated to discussion and
questions and answers.

- Define and discuss neurodiversity in general
- Identify common barriers and challenges for neurodivergent students
