Neurodiversity in Youth: Learning, Support, and Inclusion

Dr. Caroline Richter of the University of Alabama at Birmingham is an expert on the lived experiences of neurodiverse youth as they navigate social and educational environments. This lecture explores her research and introduces participants to Universal Design for Learning—an evidence-based approach to optimizing teaching and mentorship by proactively removing barriers in the curriculum. For 4-H educators and volunteers, the lecture offers a practical framework for understanding how emotional well-being and academic success are deeply connected in children with neurodevelopmental differences, and truly why every brain learns differently.
