An inside look at the lives of five neurodivergent students at U of T
This session features an exclusive early screening of a new documentary short produced by the Innovation Hub in partnership with Accessibility Services. The 25-minute documentary features five neurodivergent students who share their different experiences at U of T. Students share their stories through on-camera interviews, video diaries, voiceovers, and vlogs of their day-to-day lives. Throughout the documentary, student provide commentary about their unique university journeys. By highlighting the experiences of neurodivergent students, we aim to inspire conversations about more inclusive practices that support diverse students.
Following the screening, there will be a design thinking activity to brainstorm different ways to consider the needs of neurodivergent students in classrooms and in curriculum development. We hope that the personal stories of students in the documentary short and the conversations that follow will open doors for new ideas for inclusive classrooms.
