Join us for a practical workshop exploring the intersections of Artificial Intelligence, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and neurodiversity in educational environments.  

This session is designed for educators, staff, and support professionals who want to better understand how inclusive design and emerging technologies can enhance learning for all students.  

By the end of the workshop, attendees will:  

• Identify key aspects of neurodiversity and recognize common learning strengths, challenges, and variability among students 
• Explain the core principles of UDL and describe how they support accessibility and inclusion for neurodiverse learners 
• Explore how AI can enhance inclusive teaching, including tools that support multimodal engagement, and personalized learning  
• Reflect on their own teaching or support practices and identify at least one actionable change to better serve neurodiverse learners through inclusive design 

Whether you are new to these topics or looking to deepen your practice, this workshop offers a meaningful introduction to design for inclusive learning experiences.

This session will be recorded, archived, and shared after the event.
