Overview
Join us for an insightful panel discussion exploring neurodiversity in qualitative research practice. This session will equip you with practical strategies for conducting neuro-inclusive research that benefits all participants.
We’ll begin by establishing a shared understanding of neurodiversity. The conversation will then focus on real-world scenarios where researchers encounter neurodiverse participants. You’ll learn to recognize behavioral patterns and communication preferences that suggest participants might benefit from different approaches, along with accommodation strategies that create comfortable environments without compromising research objectives.
Whether you’re moderating focus groups, conducting in-depth interviews, or designing research protocols, this session will provide immediately applicable strategies for more inclusive qualitative research.
