This week we welcomed @Steph_KaNo back to @CamEdFac to discuss global perspectives on neurodiversity. Stephanie shared her doctoral research project on autism and play in Sub-Saharan Africa, asking questions about perspectives and practice around playful teaching.
This week we welcomed @MelG_SLT back to @CamEdFac to discuss the role of transformative research in supporting change in professional practice. We considered fundamental questions around values, positionality, assumptions & social justice in neurodiversity research and practice.
It was a delight to welcome Eliza Fricker @_MissingTheMark to the NiES (Neurodiversity in Educational Settings) Master’s Module @CamEdFac@DrJennyG last week, discussing why authentic trust and genuine relationships must be at the heart of inclusion for #neurodivergentlearners

@JulieBailey222 ...and social components of learning. Ask them about their engagement with specific instances of learning rather than learning in general. For example: 'were you focused or distracted in today's lecture?'
@JulieBailey222 Julie's research found that compared to NT students, ND learners are not OK: they're overwhelmed, frustrated, and distracted. She argues that we need to widen our standard provision so that ND students don't 'drop out' of it.
Happy to be at the Neurodiversity in Higher Education conference today #NDinHE. Thank you to @SedgewickF and @el_jenks for organising ! Looking forward to supporting @JulieBailey222 at her talk exploring overwhelm, distraction and frustration experienced by ND undergrads
