Abstract

Description:

Neurodivergent education and lifelong learning represent a transformative approach to understanding and supporting individual thinking, learning, and engagement. As neurodiversity awareness increases, traditional educational models fail to meet the needs of all learners. Embracing neurodivergent perspectives calls for inclusive, flexible, and personalized educational strategies that extend beyond childhood into adulthood. Lifelong learning becomes a tool for personal and professional development, and a critical path for neurodivergent individuals to thrive, contribute to society, and pursue personal fulfillment.

Neurodivergent Education and Lifelong Learning explores the application of inclusive education practices for accessible learning. It examines the lived experiences of neurodivergent individuals to foster a humanized approach to intersectionality and advocacy in educational contexts. This book covers topics such as mental health, childhood development, and higher education, and is a useful resource for educators, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
