Podcast Description
How can higher education create more neurodivergent-inclusive teaching and learning? In this episode, Laura Molway talks with Dr Xin Xu, Dr Laura Seymour and Dr Cressida Ryan about the NESTL (Neurodivergent Education for Students, Teaching & Learning) project. They discuss how neurodivergent students and staff helped co-create a practical toolkit through workshops, focus groups, interviews and feedback. The conversation introduces four areas for action – awareness and understanding; teaching practice, space and materials; assessment and feedback; and adjustment and support – and four forces of change: individual, communal, institutional and sector-wide. The guests also reflect on co-creation, making resources usable, and starting with one small change that educators can try, reflect on and build on.
