1.1 Explain five (5) aspects which neurodiversity focuses on when applied to education. (5)
According to the neurodiversity theory, brain differences are normal and not signs of impairments.
People who have different neurologists perceive, engage with, and interpret the environment in different
ways. This idea can lessen the stigma associated with learning and cognitive impairments.
The following five aspects are the focus of neurodiversity:
1) Having a classroom that is psychologically secure. A psychologically secure classroom is one where pupils
don't feel self-conscious when they need to clarify anything or if they don't understand something.
According to research, pupils who were in psychologically secure educational settings showed higher levels
of self-confidence and wellbeing. Since it entails removing obstacles to participation and learning for
neurodivergent pupils, this ought to be educators' top goal.
2) Transferable skill in bite-sized bits offers a lot of advantages:
➢ Students are able to: create connections between their learning;
➢ move steadily;
➢ comprehend the significance of each stage;
➢ teachers are able to more rapidly gauge students' progress
➢ and the task is made more doable.
3) Diversifying your teaching strategies
Teachers should think about implementing various teaching and learning techniques in the classroom to
make teachings more accessible to neurodivergent students. This is due to the fact that different students'
responses to various tactics will vary based on how they perceive and interpret information.
4) Familiarising yourself with their strengths and weaknesses
Students that are neurodivergent share the same talents and weaknesses as every other student.
According to research, neurodiverse children often excel in more creative topics but have trouble on tests
in the foundational subjects of Science, English, and Mathematics. Students with autism, on the other
hand, have a wonderful eye for detail and pattern recognition, and they relate concepts in a manner that
neurotypical people do not. Therefore, even though they are approaching the problem in an unusual way,
their approach is still effective.
5) Having high expectations
Additionally, it's critical that teachers be as explicit as possible about their expectations for the class since
consistency and clarity will benefit kids who have trouble adapting to change, paying attention, or who
require a feeling of routine.
