Mr. Gibson is going to be teaching CS within his mathematics instruction this year. At the beginning of the school year, he attended a school-wide professional development (PD) workshop on Universal Design for Learning. In this workshop, Mr. Gibson learned about how the three UDL principles could be used in planning instruction that is engaging and accessible to all his students, including those with disabilities.
He wonders how he might apply these principles to the CS activities that will take place this year with all of his students, including three students with disabilities who are included in his 3rd grade class. Rachel has a learning disability related to math;Roberto has a social communication disorder that kept him from verbally expressing his needs; andConnie has an emotional behavior disorder as well as a speech/language impairment and often does not interact with her peers.

October is ADHD Awareness Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness of ADHD. Unfortunately, in today’s society there are negative stigmas associated with ADHD which in turn has led to workplace discrimination and individuals feeling as if they ‘aren’t cut out’ for a particular career. As a company, we know first-hand the true value an individual with ADHD can bring to businesses, especially in the tech industry, which is why we’re working to break the stigma and educate people and businesses on the benefit neurodiverse individuals can offer to tech.
People with ADHD and tech are a natural fit, here are just a few of the reasons why. 1) They find changing environments stimulating The tech environment is constantly changing and regardless of whether you work in cloud, cyber, data, software, or AI, you’ll be faced with regular developments. 2) They can hyperfocus If they are interested in the subject, people with ADHD have the ability to fully engage and concentrate on a given task.
Sophia Frentz — Neurodivergent in STEM. “Hi! I'm Sophia, a non-binary Data Consultant at Eliiza with a PhD in Medical Genetics. I'm autistic, and was diagnosed about five years ago. Being diagnosed means I feel like I can ask for what I need without feeling guilty that I'm not able to do "what everyone else can". My social relationships have always been a bit fraught because I'm autistic, and forgiving myself for not being a mindreader while improving how I communicate continues to be difficult, but all personal growth is. I am a New Zealander, and have an undergraduate in genetics from the University of Otago and a PhD from the University of Melbourne.
While I adore genetics and lab science, I knew that the job instability of an academic career simply wasn't going to work for me, so made sure to build up a strong CV during my PhD that meant I immediately landed a job at Deloitte in their Technology, Strategy, and Transformation Consulting team.
