Lesson 1 of 11 · 4:24
Neurodiversity describes the variance in how individuals experience, process, and interact with the world around them. In this lecture, the discussion explores how differences in experience can shape the way students think, learn, respond to stimuli, and engage with their environment.
What the video covers:
How environmental and genetic differences can influence the way we experience and understand the world.
Why there is no single “correct” way of thinking, learning, or behaving.
How teachers can pause and consider what may be happening in a student's experience before interpreting a behaviour as disruptive.
A practical example of how sensory experiences can differ between two children with the same diagnoses.
The importance of creating a sense of safety and security while respecting different ways of experiencing the world.
The discussion offers teachers and educators a way to look beyond expected norms and consider the individual experiences that may influence a student's response to their environment.
