Objectives
- Discuss the definition of "neurodiversity"
- Describe the experiences of neurodiverse learners in the classroom
- Apply recommended instructional approaches to classroom scenarios involving neurodiverse learners
Description
Facilitated by Cathie Axe, executive director of Student Disability Services, and Jami Imhof, coordinator of Neurodiversity Services in Mental Health Services, this workshop will give instructors the tools they need to ensure the success of neurodiverse students in their courses. These include concrete tactics to deploy in the classroom, tips about designing a course that creates space for neurodiverse students, and information about JHU resources available to faculty and students. Especially notable is that the workshop will also discuss the experiences of neurodiverse students from their perspective, and participants will walk away with increased awareness about what it's like to be neurodiverse in the classroom at JHU.
