There are natural variations in human brain function just like there are variations in height, weight, and coloring. The world is full of neurodiversity. And this is a good thing! Research shows that some neurodivergent people \u2013 for example, people with autism &#8211; are excellent at systemic thinking. Similarly, some people with ADHD or dyslexia may be great idea generators and connectors of ideas. The same brain wiring that makes some things difficult, make other things easy. And effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jodi also participated in a Roundtable Session which allowed attendees to learn from experts and leaders from across the education landscape. It offered diverse perspectives and thoughtful discussion on improving instruction for neurodiverse learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/03\/Jodi_sxsw-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/03\/Jodi_sxsw-edited.jpeg 1125w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/03\/Jodi_sxsw-edited-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/03\/Jodi_sxsw-edited-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/03\/Jodi_sxsw-edited-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/03\/Jodi_sxsw-edited-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Jodi Asbell-Clarke presented a session at the 2024 SxSW Conference and Festival entitled &#8220;Neurodiversity in STEM: Uniquely Talented Problem Solvers.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2243,"template":"","focus_areas":[],"focus_populations":[],"class_list":["post-1995","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2270,"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1995\/revisions\/2270"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"focus_areas","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_areas?post=1995"},{"taxonomy":"focus_populations","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/ndinstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_populations?post=1995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
