Session Abstract: “Neurodiversity” describes how people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways. The term “neurodivergent” is often associated with individuals with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, or more generally, those whose brains process information in ways that are not typical of most individuals. In this workshop, participants will explore the concept of neurodiversity, gain a deeper understanding of the obstacles that neurodivergent students might encounter in engineering courses, and identify strategies for supporting neurodivergent students in the classroom.
