Learn practical strategies for supporting neurodivergent learners.
About the pathway collections
Understanding and embracing neurodiversity—the natural variation in how people think, learn, and process information—is essential for educators who want to create more inclusive learning environments. Many learners experience the world through a neurodivergent lens. These learners often face challenges not because of their differences, but due to systems and environments that are not designed with their needs in mind.
This Educator Pathway was designed for educators to support them in building their understanding of neurodiversity and neurodivergence. It explores cultural worldviews of neurodiversity and describes practical strategies for supporting neurodivergent learners.
Please note that this Educator Pathway is still under development. New lessons will be added throughout 2025.
Topics covered
The Neurodiversity Educator Pathway features six collections:
- Introduction to neurodiversity
- Autism
- ADHD
