Inclusion in Practice: Neuroscience Foundations for Inclusive Learning Environments
Inclusion in Practice: Neuroscience Foundations for Inclusive Learning Environments
Administered by ESD 113
Presenters
- Neural Ed Team
Description
Building on learning from the Neuroscience Foundations Institute, this interactive workshop focuses on translating concepts such as neuroplasticity, myelination, and regulation into actionable practices that expand access, participation, and meaningful engagement for all learners. Participants will examine concrete examples of inclusive practices designed to reduce barriers for neurodivergent and disabled students across both general and special education settings.
This session moves beyond theory into the daily decisions educators make about classroom design, regulation supports, learner variability, and student engagement. Participants will leave with practical ideas they can immediately apply to create more inclusive, responsive, and brain-aligned learning environments.
Participants will:
Apply neuroscience concepts such as neuroplasticity, myelination, and regulation through a neurodiversity-affirming lens
Explore practical strategies that reduce environmental barriers for neurodivergent and disabled learners
Examine examples of inclusive supports, structures, and classroom routines that increase learner access and engagement
Consider how to universally design learning environments that better respond to learner variability
Reflect on implementation challenges and engage in collaborative discussion around inclusive practice and concerning behavior
