| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The proposed Guiding Empowerment Model is a novel approach that addresses the equity gap for neurodivergent and situationally limited learners by considering dynamic factors that impact learning and function. By synthesizing cognitive, situational, and environmental factors, educators can develop personalized instructional approaches that cater to individual needs. The model integrates key aspects such as sensory processing differences, social connection challenges, and environmental limitations. Using this framework, the authors evaluate sample learning platform features and technology solutions to remove major learning barriers for neurodivergent learners. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary Neurodivergent learners often face significant challenges in academic settings due to inadequate support and a lack of understanding about their unique needs. This paper proposes a new approach to address these issues by considering the complex interplay between cognitive, situational, and environmental factors that impact learning and function. The authors suggest that technology-enabled features like customizable task management, guided varied content access, and guided multi-modal collaboration can help remove major barriers to learning for neurodivergent learners. |
