A More Inclusive Classroom: Considerations for the Legal Research Professor Teaching Neurodivergent Students
No full textNeurodivergence is not a new subject of study in higher education, but very little has been written or presented about the specific needs of neurodivergent students in the legal research classroom. This program will provide insight into the challenges neurodivergent students may face in the legal research classroom as opposed to the doctrinal classroom and provide possible solutions legal research professors can provide that not only benefit neurodivergent students but also neurotypical students. The scope of this program will cover a few neurotypes, including ADHD, ADD, autism, and mental health conditions.
Takeaways: Participants will be able to identify why the legal research classroom poses unique challenges for neurodivergent students. Participants will be able to incorporate best practices for teaching neurodivergent students in the legal research classroom. Participants will be able to design in-class and out-of-class legal research assignments to best serve both neurodivergent and neurotypical students
