Lori A. Wischnewsky; Shamala Gallagher; Sam Crandall
Practitioner to Practitioner, v12 n2 p9-13 2023
There is a great need for education and training about neurodiversity due to the rapid increase of neurodivergent students enrolling in postsecondary educational programs. As neurodivergent professionals, we offer a look at the common myths and misunderstandings that plague neurodivergent students as well as highlight the strengths neurodivergent students bring to the classroom. We explain typical challenges and barriers to success neurodivergent students face as well as ways faculty and staff can support neurodivergent students.
