If you have taught at a university, you have almost certainly taught neurodivergent students. You yourself might also be neurodivergent, or you might have neurodivergent colleagues in your department. What does all of this mean for how you teach, mentor, and communicate? In this session, I will introduce the concept of neurodiversity and some considerations for inclusive language use. I will also share some insights from the Jaswal Lab’s research with autistic students at UVA and how these experiences can inform more inclusive teaching and communication efforts.
