Please access registration for the Neurodiversity Events HERE

Based off of feedback from the focus group we held, The Neurodiversity Project has evolved into an informative series targeted to two main groups on campus: Students and Faculty/Staff. Our goal is to provide information about neurodiversity and provide each audience group with action steps. Our hope is that members of the NOVA Community feel more informed and empowered to support our neurodiverse students, staff, and faculty.

 

Events geared toward faculty*:

Friday, September 9, 1-3

“Understanding and supporting neurodiverse learners” followed by a brief dyslexia simulation

HYFLEX option/in-person & online

 

Friday, September 23, 1-3

“Universal design for learning as a tool of equity in the classroom” followed by a panel of community college instructors sharing how they use UDL in the classroom.

*Faculty attending both workshops will receive a certificate of attendance.

In addition to these sessions, we have collaborated with the Annandale Library’s collection librarian, Melanie Medina, to develop the neurodiversity resources easily accessible to the NOVA community. We are currently in-process of developing a webpage, which will be developed to offer more information about the grant, resources, and event recordings. https://blogs.nvcc.edu/neurodiversity/
