Description

The landscape of higher education is evolving, with an increasing number of students with specific learning differences entering universities. Yet, academic support often fails to meet their needs.

Academic Writing, Assessment, and Neurodiversity is a practical, research-informed guide designed for teaching staff, tutors, learning developers, and disability advisors. It blends inclusive pedagogy with actionable strategies, helping educators leverage students’ cognitive strengths to foster academic success.

Key topics include:

Scaffolding support for areas students find challenging
Using metaphorical and visual pedagogies to enhance study and writing
Designing inclusive assessments
Applying principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Complementary Cognition, and compositional pictography

This book bridges the gap between scholarly insight and everyday practice, empowering educators to create equitable, inclusive, and supportive learning environments.
