Using Technology to Improve Awareness, Convenience, and Communication about Neurodivergence in Higher Educational Institutes in Pakistan

Awareness of neurodiversity in higher education is at the rise but institutions struggle to set up comprehensive frameworks that can effectively accommodate neurodivergent students. This deficiency undercuts attempts to establish inclusive learning settings, leaving students to deal with issues like academic stress, social isolation, and a lack of resources. This study peruse creative ways to bridge this gap by using technology to promote inclusivity, facilitate communication, and improve the accommodation process. We created an app prototype using a human-centered design methodology with the goals of raising awareness, easing accommodations, and boosting faculty-student communication. The findings provide beneficial data for educators, policymakers, and developers intending to use technology to build supportive and equitable learning environments.

Abstract

Awareness of neurodiversity in higher education is at the rise but institutions struggle to set up comprehensive frameworks that can effectively accommodate neurodivergent students. This deficiency undercuts attempts to establish inclusive learning settings, leaving students to deal with issues like academic stress, social isolation, and a lack of resources. This study peruse creative ways to bridge this gap by using technology to promote inclusivity, facilitate communication, and improve the accommodation process. We created an app prototype using a human-centered design methodology with the goals of raising awareness, easing accommodations, and boosting faculty-student communication. The findings provide beneficial data for educators, policymakers, and developers intending to use technology to build supportive and equitable learning environments.
