Episode 94: Neurodivergent Thinking in the Art Room
Laura and Matt GrundlerMatt and Laura Grundler
The one certainty in education is students learn differently. Information is not always received or processed the same way. For some students, this is due to neurodivergence. What does it mean to be neurodivergent? It is when a brain processes, learns, and/or behaves differently from what is considered “typical.” The Creativity Department discusses that in this episode! Both Laura and Matt have been diagnosed with ADHD and have firsthand experience learning to live with the challenges it creates. Listen in as they talk about the different ways they learn, the difficulties they overcame while in school, strategies they use to help their own children, and how all of this is reflected in their teaching.
