Description

In this episode, we sit down with Kris Astle from SMART Technologies and Dr. Matt Harrison from the University of Melbourne to explore research centered on neurodivergent student voices. We discuss why these learners are rarely consulted in technology design and delivery, and how their feedback shaped 36 actionable recommendations. Together, we unpack how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles intersect with neurodiversity-affirming practices, ensuring technology truly supports agency, inclusion, and success.
