2023 Schedule Deep Dive: Celebrating Neurodiversity
As we keep moving through 2023 programming, the emphasis on neurodiversity is hard to miss.
One in every five children is neurodiverse, yet many don’t have access to the education and resources they need. These students are in search of schools that will provide the proper support and adapt to each student so they can learn in the style that is best for them.
At SXSW EDU 2023, speakers are providing solutions to make learning more accessible for neurodivergent thinkers.
Explore 2023 Neurodiversity Programming:
The Talk The Neurodiverse & the Teacher Shortage Crisis will tackle how teacher shortages are creating a particularly heightened crisis for our neurodiverse population through a combination of policy and teacher training solutions.
Learning through play is a natural way to allow neurodivergent students to engage in and demonstrate learning in their own unique ways. Discuss which tools for digital play are inclusive and for whom, and what approaches leverage the affordances of play in the Talk Designing Inclusive Playful Learning Experiences.
- The Forgotten Population: The Neurodiverse
- The Power of Different Thinkers
