2026 Badge Summit

Research indicates that neurodivergent (ND) students in higher education often avoid self-disclosure due to fear of stigmatization (Brown, 2023) and discrimination (Edwards et al., 2023). This can leave ND students navigating their education without essential support. Faculty and staff signaling their understanding, allyship, and advocacy of neurodivergence may ease these burdens. This session outlines the design and development of an online learning module, and its accompanying digital credential, that provides foundational knowledge about terminology and misconceptions about neurodivergence, and best practices for designing inclusive learning experiences.
