Neurodiversity: An award-winning poster presentation from JALT 2020

Alexandra Burke's presentation on Saturday, November 21st, 2020, characterized "the impact of ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, [and] color [vision] issues and how they affect learning for nearly 12.6 million people in Japan." It also "cover[ed] ... clues to look for and where to find publicly-available resources" (session description, https://jalt2020.eventzil.la/session/355 [emphases added]). 

 

Burke asserted that the understandings and behaviors of teachers "are the keys to success for students with hidden disabilities" (poster element). A PDF of the poster is available for download here:
