Supporting Neurodiverse Learners

Neurodiversity presents itself in many ways. Understanding how to support your learners can be challenging. In this workshop, we will demystify neurodiversity. We’ll break down the labels and simplify the topic, so you can effectively support your ākonga. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to help your neurodiverse learners overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
  
What You’ll Learn:

  • Key types of neurodiversity
  • Understanding sensory and cognitive differences
  • Myths and misconceptions – cutting through the misinformation
  • Challenges faced by neurodiverse learners
  • Strategies for supporting learner success
  • Hot Seat: Ask Me Anything – no question is off limits!   

Who is it for? 

This workshop is for governance members, staff, educators, tutors, kaiako, and volunteers in adult and community education.
