The Importance of Flexibility and Structure for Neurodivergent Learners
Flexibility and structure are crucial for supporting neurodivergent learners in the classroom. Implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can provide choice and flexibility in learning, allowing neurodivergent learners to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in ways that align with their interests and strengths. Providing authentic and alternative assessments that offer various formats, such as written tutorials, screencast videos, or visual infographics, can empower neurodivergent learners to showcase their understanding. Additionally, incorporating structure in syllabi, lesson plans, and learning management systems can help neurodivergent learners feel more comfortable and settled, reducing anxiety and allowing them to focus on their learning.
