TESL Ontario Webinar

How can educators effectively tailor their curriculum to support neurodiverse students without sacrificing academic rigor? What innovative strategies and tools are available to facilitate curriculum adaptations that cater to the unique learning needs of neurodivergent students?

In contemporary education, student diversity is recognized as an inherent and enriching element. However, the design of the education system often focuses on the average student, neglecting the specific needs of those with diverse abilities, learning styles, and neurodiversity. This webinar aims to address this disparity through the implementation of curriculum adaptations that promote the inclusion.

Key points to be addressed include:

• enhanced engagement and participation,
• improved academic outcomes,
• fostering a supportive learning environment, and
• preparation for a diverse world.
