AI for Supporting Neurodivergent Learners (NDL1)

Partnering with AI for Neurodivergent Learners

This course helps educators partner with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ground their practice in a strengths-based understanding of neurodivergent and physiodivergent learners. Educators move from a deficit-based perspective to a competency-based approach and apply that lens across goal setting, executive functioning, academic access, communication, and social-emotional reflection.
