Neurodiversity in Science Classrooms: Planning for All Minds FILLING

How can we plan science instruction that embraces neurodiversity and supports all learners? In this session, we will explore what neurodiversity is, why it matters, and how to plan using UDL principles. We will also examine practical AI-powered supports that enhance accessibility and engagement. The session will include real-world examples from classrooms, showcasing how inclusive strategies create richer, more dynamic learning experiences for all students. We will wrap up with an opportunity to try out some of the highlighted supports in a collaborative environment.
