From the course: Nano Tips for Working Inclusively with Neurodivergent Employees with Ellie Middleton

Inclusive learning design

- Are you catering to all different types of neurodivergent learners? So in this video, I'm going to highlight the fact that just like everybody in the workplace, your neurodivergent learners will have different styles of in the way that they learn. So some people are audio learners, some people are visual learners, and some people learn from reading and writing, and some people are kinesthetic learners too. So specifically neurodivergent people can have struggles with auditory processing. So this means that when you give us a verbal instruction, it goes in one ear and out the other without being properly processed by our brains. A really quick and easy way to accommodate for this is making sure that any verbal instructions are followed up with the same instructions given in a written format. So, for example, if instructions have been given over a call or during a meeting, just making sure that you follow up that meeting with an email with really clearly in black and white, the actions and the instructions that needed to have been taken from that meeting. This means that even if people don't learn via listening, they still know what they need to know.
