Neurodiversity/Neuro-Ed Assess

This course will investigate neuropsychological topics and cognitive assessments that are relevant to the performance of individuals in learning environments and how these influence instructional interactions. The focus will be on how neurologically informed teaching can enhance the practice of professionals as well as the learning and development of the people with whom they work. Specific areas of interest will include left-right whole brain learning, learning style differences, the impact of gender and cultural differences on learning, and the involvement of learning disorders (EF, attention deficit disorders, dyslexia, and autism spectrum disorders) in the learning process.
