Abstract

Students with diverse learning needs are becoming more prevalent in higher education institutions. There has been a substantial rise in the number of adult learners with ADHD (American College Health Association, 2021). To ensure the support and achievement of neurodiverse learners, especially higher education students with ADHD, higher education faculty should implement strategies within their courses to support all learners. One framework frequently utilized in K-12 settings is Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL provides access to content by focusing strategies on engagement, various means of displaying content, and supporting learners in demonstrating their learning in a way that best supports their learning needs (CAST, 2018). Specific UDL strategies that would have a positive impact on learners with ADHD are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
