Abstract

Supporting Neurodiverse College Student Success, edited by Elizabeth Coghill and Jeffrey Coghill, aims to inspire higher education institutions to create more inclusive and welcoming environments for neurodiverse students. The authors achieve that goal by defining neurodiversity and providing concrete examples of how postsecondary learning environments can be adapted to meet the needs of college students with learning differences. Understanding neurodiversity means acknowledging that there is no “normal” brain function; differences are part of expected variations in the human brain. Further, neurodiversity recognizes that differences are not deficits.
