Session info

As the university continues to grow, the neurodiversity of students attending our 4-year institution is also on the rise. This workshop will discuss common presentations of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and how to engage with both the strengths and weakness of such students in the academic process. We will share strategies for how professors can best manage the classroom, and provide evidence-based practices for creating universally accessible classroom structures and tailoring course lectures or assignments to fit the widest array of students’ abilities. Audience participation will be encouraged regarding example cases, and time for real-world situations and questions/answers will be given.
