ACS Workshop: Inclusive Pedagogy for Neurodivergent College Students

Thursday, November 12, 2026 – 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm E.T. (Virtual Workshop)

Join Carly Priest (The Neurodiversity Alliance) for this session designed for academic leaders across the Associated Colleges of the South consortium. Inclusive classroom environments and course design can improve individual and course outcomes, boost student persistence and success, and enhance the teaching experience for faculty. Grounded in Universal Design for Learning (UDL), including flexible approaches to engagement, representation, and how students demonstrate learning. This session offers a framework for supporting neurodivergent students at scale, helping leaders equip faculty to teach inclusively without compromising academic rigor or whole-class instruction. You’ll leave with concrete talking points to bring back to your campus, along with practical, college-ready strategies to apply to your communities.

This session is part of a broader ACS initiative to support neurodivergent learners, made possible through generous support from the ECMC Foundation.
