Neurodiversity and the Student Experience
Neurodiversity (Specific Learning Differences) and the Student Learning Experience
Led by Jagjeet Jutley-Neilson this WIHEA learning circle aims to bring together academics that are interested in exploring the Learning Experience of Students who identify as having Specific Learning Differences/Neurodivergent. Neurodiversity or Specific learning differences is a term that is commonly used to describe people with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) including Asperger’s, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (AD(H)D); co-occurrence amongst these is also common.

- Explore existing literature (e.g. terminology, lived experiences)
- How do we support Neurodivergent (Specific Learning Differences) students once they are here and post two years after graduation (student cycle)?
- What are Staff experiences and approaches to teaching inclusively; do they feel supported, how do staff design course/modules that are inclusive for all?
