Inclusive Teaching: Supporting Neurodiverse Learners in Herbal and Wellness Education

This workshop explores practical strategies for designing presentations, teaching materials, and learning environments that support neurodiverse learners, including autistic and ADHD students. Participants will learn how to make educational content more accessible through thoughtful use of colour, font, and layout, incorporating visual anchors, bold contrasts, and simple, easy-to-read typefaces. Slides will be designed to include meaningful text, memory cues, and visual supports, rather than relying solely on single words or auditory explanations.

The workshop will also cover best practices for audio and video quality, minimizing repetitive or distracting sounds, and ensuring clarity for learners with sensory sensitivities. Written materials will be presented with clear headlines, structured formatting, and visual cues to guide comprehension and engagement.

Attendees will gain actionable guidance on creating presentations, workshops, and educational tools that respect diverse learning styles and cognitive processing differences. By integrating these strategies, practitioners and educators can foster inclusive, engaging, and empowering learning experiences, helping neurodiverse students access information, retain knowledge, and participate fully in herbal, wellness, and aromatherapy education. This session emphasizes practical, real-world techniques for designing educational content that supports learning for all.
