I Just Dont Know How To Bring It Up - Tumblr Posts
Imagine if classes were set up by autistic/ADHD people. Lectures would be recorded so that not only could people rewatch them, but they could pause it in case something distracts them or their brain starts trailing off. They could rewind if they missed stuff, speed it up or slow it down, etc. There would even be subtitles/a transcript.
Everyone would be given a copy of the slides, whether on an ipad, or printed out. Study guides that pointed out the types of information that are necessary (ex. Dates aren't on the test, only the name of the person and what they discovered, you don't need to memorize the actual order just the items, etc.)
Even though the lectures are videos, there would still be a classroom where everyone has headphones, optional fidget toys, different types of chairs, and teacher/teachers that help answer questions via a chat box feature that the student and teacher use (the teacher is at her desk on the laptop)
Due dates, the teacher's name, today's date, and a to-do list are all up on the board, and instead of a punishment for not getting homework done, the student is given a time to come to that class to do the homework they missed so they can have that environment and support.
The classroom itself would have soft light, especially sunlight from windows, and the school itself would have a counselor that can help people when they have panic attacks or other conditions.
The tests/homework are set up to be more visual, and open-ended. Rather than having things like true/false or multiple choice, the students have spaces to explain their thought process, and the tests have feedback.
Add more ideas if you want, also im just one person so what sounds good for me maybe not for everyone
