ability to work [1]. To understand neurodiversity, a basic comprehension of the term neurotypical is essential. A neurotypical individual is defined as a medically healthy person who exhibits a typical pattern of neurodevelopment along an expected timeline compared to their peers [2]. This study focuses on the training methods available to faculty, staff, and administrators to increase their support for neurodivergent learners in higher education. The objective of this study was to establish if Clemson University provides its instructors with proper training to raise awareness of neurodivergence and how it can be implemented in the classroom. It also looked at how modern technological advances may affect the educational process. These themes are

Neurodivergence is described as a neurological variation inwhich the brain processes information, leading to individuals having different strengths andweaknesses [1]. While neurodivergence is generally well understood in professional settings,universities must ensure proper access to necessary accommodations and information in order tosupport students in STEM fields.

Through conversation, they realize their collective experiences could inform others who might be interested in themselves pursuing ungrading. As a result, the educators come together to analyze their approaches in four different courses (two each), identify insights about how to adapt ungrading to different contexts, and organize the insights into a framework that could guide other interested educators. ●​ Scenario 2: An educator becomes interested in the potential for

Abroad range of activities can be considered active learning techniques under this definition [2].Some are simple and easy implement.
