Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a three part series (part 1 – what is neurodiversity?, part 2 – studying at home, part 3 – recommendations) on neurodiversity and online learning. The recommendations make sense though they feel overly broad. Specifically, students should make institutions aware of their neurodivergence (and I would add institutions should encourage and make it easy and safe to report this). Institutions in turn should notify relevant staff, and staff should know how to support neurodivergent learners online. Additionally, institutions should be aware that neurodivergent student might not report for various reasons, but make adaptations available nonetheless.
