“This project relies on a participatory design, involving a neurodiverse group of academics and educational developers, bringing their own experiences and motivations for creating neuroinclusive university classrooms.”
The group will use co-creative design activities and conduct qualitative investigations of their own and others’ experiences to explore and adapt community-building and collaboration-enhancing activities for use in neurodiverse classrooms.”
The project aims to support university teachers in the task of creating a thriving community of diverse learners. It will document the design and application of concrete activities and frameworks, facilitating collaboration in neurodiverse classrooms in higher education, and it will establish a new foundation for teacher consultation provided by the CED, with a focus on neurodiversity-related opportunities and challenges.”
