AI for Supporting Neurodivergent Learners (NDL2)

AI-Supported Precision Design for Neurodivergent Learners

This course helps educators develop precision design habits for supporting neurodivergent and physiodivergent learners, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a thinking partner at each step. Educators learn to notice where a task or environment creates friction for a learner, adjust cognitive demand while keeping rigor intact, and build scaffold-and-fade plans that move learners toward independence.
