How Universities are Adapting to Support Neurodiverse Students
It’s estimated that around 15-20% of the world’s population has a specific learning difference such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia. In the US alone, 20% of undergraduate students have reported a disability, including neurodiverse diagnoses.
Scientists and practitioners have led the way in re-defining neurodivergent conditions as ‘different methods of learning and processing information’, and with a few adjustments, students can enjoy a successful and fulfilling academic experience.
The emphasis is growing on universities to introduce services, initiatives and tools that can help their neurodiverse student communities to thrive in the higher education environment and we’ll look at some of the assistive technologies institutions are adopting to support their students.
