Neurodiversity

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of the impact of dyslexia on nursing and midwifery students and of the coping strategies they develop and/or use to help them cope in practice.

This book provides a jargon free (but pedagogically informed) set of guidance for teaching practitioners who wish to consider a variety of ways in which technology can enrich their practice and the learning of their students. Chapter 2 covers inclusive practIce: disability and diversity.

The number of students with learning difficulties enrolled in nursing programs has increased. A new educational paradigm based on universal design principles is proposed.

This comprehensive handbook provides a research-informed and international perspective on the critical issues in contemporary nurse education. This chapter explores the concept of dyslexia within nurse education in higher education settings.

The main aim of the study was to identify how dyslexia might affect registered nurses’ engagement in lifelong learning and how lecturers can support them. A narrative lifecourse approach was taken to explore the experiences of 14 registered nurses with dyslexia from across Great Britain and nine lecturers from England and Scotland.

In recent years, however, there has been some debate as to the correct terminology for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs). This in turn creates uncertainty for the non-specialist healthcare educator.
