A neuro-affirmative approach for learners

Would you like to learn skills to work better with all different types of people, including those who think differently from you?

15 % or more of the population is neurodivergent and that number is likely to increase with more awareness and diagnostic services. This workshop will explore different types of cognitive processing, give the opportunity to reflect on how to support learners in your context, and explore how to apply reasonable adjustments.

The aims of this session are to:

  • Discuss useful hints and tips on working with different types of cognitive processing
  • Reflect on how to support those who share they are neurodivergent or who seem to have neurodivergent traits.
  • Apply reasonable adjustments in the context of a case study.
  • Identify tools for inclusivity in the learning environment and learn about signposting for further support.

Sessions are being piloted to see if this is an area of interest to our teaching team. Please therefore sign up to one of the following workshops which will be delivered online using Teams, or face-to-face (same content).
