In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jodi Asbell-Clarke to explore the connection between neurodivergent learners and STEM education. Dr. Asbell-Clarke draws upon years of research and practice to explain how STEM education, project-based learning, and universal design for learning all play unique and powerful roles in maximizing the talents of students, including neurodivergent thinkers. Dr. Asbell-Clarke and her team have applied this research and learning to create a collection of teaching and learning materials called INFACT (Including Neurodiversity in Foundational and Applied Computational Thinking), which are freely available on the TERC, EdGE, and AVID Open Access websites.
