Teon Edwards, PI of Broadening Participation in Informal STEM Learning for Autistic Learners and Others through Virtual Reality, describes an answer to the question “What does neurodiversity look like?” It focuses on “look”, or visual, aspects of a project co-designing a virtual reality game.
Many neurodivergent students have strong problem-solving skills, which are often masked by EF struggles like organizing thoughts, breaking down problems, and persisting through challenges. By embedding EF scaffolds, INFACT materials create a more accessible and inclusive learning experience to let those talents shine.
