Neurodiversity in the Classroom

02 and 03: InterpersonalAuthenticityIntegrity
Written By Amy Newman

I’m just back from the Association for Business Communication conference, where I presented “Supporting the Neurodiversity Represented in Our Students” with colleagues:

  • Lance Cummings, University of North Carolina Wilmington

  • David Lennox, Walla Walla University

  • Ashley Patriarca, West Chester University

  • Phillip Wagner, College of William & Mary

As you can read in the slides, our focus is on all cognitive and learning differences in our classes. We suggested ways to adjust grading rubrics, practice ungrading, use AI tools to improve executive functioning, and decide whether to disclose a disability or difference.

A QR code at the end brings you to more materials, including two video presentations from Lance, who couldn’t join us live.
