MOOC - SoE-CDSER - Understanding Neurodiversity
About the Course: To secure the right to education of every child, Academic Institutions are required to identify and accommodate neuro-divergent children and young people along with neuro-typical learners. The inclusion and equal participation of all children/youth within the schooling/academic system has been accorded the highest priority in the Government of India’s National Education Policy 2020. There is a critical need to provide increased awareness, knowledge and training regarding teaching students with neurological differences. To address this need, CEMCA and NSOU have jointly developed a MOOC on "Understanding Neurodiversity". Welcome Video Overture: Neurodiversity is a scientific concept arising from brain imaging. Several brain studies have shown that people with learning or thinking differences are "wired" differently than their peers. In other words, some children are born with brains that think, learn and process information differently than others. The term neurodiversity is an umbrella term that refers to a spectrum of conditions, not any single group and has since come to include the following variations:
