Inclusion in Practice: Neuroscience Foundations for Inclusive Learning Environments

Inclusion in Practice: Neuroscience Foundations for Inclusive Learning Environments

Thu, August 13 2026 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

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
