The Inclusive Magic School Bus: XR & Neurodiverse Education
Description:
Nearly five percent of public school students have a specific learning disability (SLD). Rates of ADHD, autism and other learning disabilities are on the rise. Today, there is a growing selection of AR/VR applications for special education from personalized learning solutions to therapeutics. XR can meet neurodiverse students where they are while also accommodating individual learning styles. Join us as we explore XR's potential in special education and the tools needed to empower students and educators and illustrate how immersive technology can equip classrooms to maximize their potential.
