In one sense, the effects of crip time can be constraining, particularly when it results in an encounter with ableist institutional and societal barriers.

The estimated prevalence of neurodivergent (ND) conditions is approximately 15-20% of the population in the United States (Doyle, 2020; Maenner et al., 2023). ND students are increasingly enrolling in mainstream colleges and universities (Bakker et al., 2019) but report that they are not receiving adequate support on campus (Dexter et al., 2024;…

Consensus is often a prerequisite for communities to develop initiatives to improve practice and create a future together. We investigated the consensus around the perceived educational inclusion of autistic and other neurodivergent students, their caregivers, and their teachers. Seventeen triads of informants plus two single students from…

This study explores how technology is used and perceived by teachers and neurodiverse students in integrated co-teaching (ICT) classrooms within elementary school. The research identified significant similarities and some differences in the views of teachers and neurodiverse students concerning technology's role in education. Teachers and students…

Children with neurodevelopmental diagnoses often experience discrimination from their peers at school. This may result from a lack of understanding, and intolerance of differences in their thinking, communication and social interactions. Learning About Neurodiversity at School (LEANS) is a teaching programme designed to educate primary school…

Despite the growing international focus on neurodiversity, its explicit identification and incorporation into educational and workplace practices remain underdeveloped in Saudi Arabia. This study explores the indirect presence and characterisation of neurodiversity within Saudi Arabia through existing inclusive practices. The study aimed to…

After the return to on-campus teaching post-COVID, reports of student disengagement and low attendance are common and anxieties over the relationship between lecture recordings and attendance have re-emerged, leading some educators to remove recordings. To understand the potential impact of such decisions, this study explored how neurodivergent…

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the importance of representation in fiction books, to ensure all children and young people can see themselves reflected in what they read.

Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities are among the most vulnerable to experiencing exclusion from community settings. Informal education settings (IES), such as camps, museums, and zoos, provide rich learning opportunities beyond the classroom, yet inclusion efforts have primarily focused on physical accessibility. A review of research is…

For computing to serve humanity, computing spaces must be safe for all individuals. While prior work has surfaced how hegemonic racial and gendered expectations manifest in computing, it has only indirectly attended to expectations surrounding neurodivergence. As computing stereotypes largely align with stereotypes of some neurodivergent…

Universal design for learning (UDL) is a pedagogical framework that utilizes the principles of equal access, flexibility, simplicity, perceptibility, and efficiency in the process of teaching and learning. This multi-institutional cross-sectional study examined instructional methods and designs that occupational therapy students identified to be…

Children excluded from school often have a range of unidentified needs that may directly contribute to their behaviour. Research and policy highlight the absence of screening for difficulties in children at risk of exclusion. This study aimed to assess and explore the feasibility and acceptability of neurodevelopmental and mental health screening…
