Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles Course

Our transformative 6-module online course is designed to equip admission directors, educators, educational consultants, parents, and lifelong learners with the knowledge and strategies necessary to support neurodiverse learners. You can take the full course or choose the modules that interest you most.

The course delves into key learning challenges, misconceptions you may bring to your work, reading evaluations, asking questions to understand the learner in front of you, EF strategies for classroom teachers, and terminology and concepts essential for professionals and parents. Each module consists of videos, readings, and assessments, and you can choose the level and depth of your engagement.

We provide three, one-hour professional development sessions for groups of five or more. These meetings structure the experience and allow participants to ask questions and dig deeper into topics of interest. When we work with a school, we often use faculty meetings to gather.
