The Neurodiversity Educator Pathway

Understanding and embracing neurodiversity - the natural variation in how people think, learn, and process information - is essential for educators who want to create more inclusive learning environments. Many learners experience the world through a neurodivergent lens. These learners often face challenges, not because of their differences, but due to systems and environments that are not designed with their needs in mind.

The purpose of this Neurodiversity Educator Pathway is to provide an opportunity for educators to build their understanding of neurodiversity and neurodivergence and develop a toolbox of strategies for supporting neurodivergent learners. Cultural perspectives of neurodiversity are explored and suggestions for further learning are included.

Please note: The Pathway is currently under construction. The initial suite of lessons has been published, with the remainder due for publication by 2026.

  • Introduction to neurodiversity
  • Autism
  • ADHD
  • Dyspraxia
  • Dyscalculia
  • Dyslexia

To access the resources, simply register as an educator (tertiary, secondary or employer), log in and select the ‘Educator Pathways’ tile.

At the end of each Collection, there is a ‘tohu quiz’. Successfully completing it will earn you the course certificate.
