Abstract

Neurodivergent students face unique barriers in higher education including executive function, communication, and stigma. Some neurodivergent students start their higher education experience without the knowledge of methods, tools or resources that may be able to reduce the effects of their barriers. When starting a journey to obtain this knowledge, resources are spread out in several locations online, in books and literature and in trainings which can be difficult for students to locate. This project reflects the compilation of resources available to students as an accessible, categorized resource site that will be available for all students to reference.
