Program Details

Recognition of neurodiverse learning in higher education is a relatively newer concept. Some students may experience certain cognitive issues, but ultimately may offer diverse perceptions of the world around them. In this 45-minute session, utilizing QC Professor Jason Tougaw’s The Elusive Brain and other research resources, I will discuss different ways to embrace neurodiverse learners through Information Literacy and Library practices.

This program is open to ACRL/NY and ACRL National members.
