Netaji Subhas Open University
&
Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia jointly offer MOOC
on
'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".
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:
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD or dyspraxia)
Dyslexia
Dyscalculia
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Other neurological conditions
Course Objectives:
To impart knowledge about the concepts of neurodiversity and building positive mindsets.
To create sensitive processes and essentials for Neurodiverse learner/young people.
To enhance professional's ability to understand and connect to Neurodiverse learners.
To increase awareness about the social, psychological, and academic implications for neurodiverse learners; and to increase the capability of implementing inclusive education practices.
To share, develop, and embed good practices for accommodation and intervention among professionals both nationally and internationally, to support neuro-divergent learners/neuro-diverse learners or young people.
Target Group (Who is this course for?):
This course is designed for teachers and teacher educators, College and University faculty with related teaching and research interests, teaching assistants, psychologists, counsellors, speech therapists, parents of children with Specific Learning Difficulties/neurodiversity, and educational leaders including heads of schools/Academic Institutions.
