Neurodiversity Colloquium

Join colleagues from across UQ for a dynamic, full-day colloquium focused on advancing neurodiversity inclusion in higher education.

This event will feature interactive sessions, peer-led discussions, and collaborative resource-building sessions to spotlight existing initiatives and share best practice to shape future directions for supporting neurodivergent students and staff.

Unlike traditional conferences, a colloquium is a smaller, dialogic forum focused on meaningful engagement. Expect dynamic discussions, collaborative activities and actionable outcomes.

• share stories, strategies, and challenges from diverse contexts

• contribute to an open access book that a curates stories and strategies to support staff in supporting neurodiverse students

• help shape future directions for neurodiversity support and inclusion.

Who should attend?

• all academic staff – improve your teaching and student engagement through inclusive practice

• Academic Skills Advisers and Learning Designers – learn and share strategies that make service more accessible and responsive

• equity and student services staff – share insights and explore approaches for improved student-centred service design

• students – have your voice heard and shape how UQ supports neurodivergent learners

• institutional leaders and decision makers – hear firsthand from students and staff and help drive systemic change

• neurodiversity allies – deepen your understanding, amplify neurodivergent voices and explore meaningful ways to advocate for inclusion in your role.

Whether you’re already working in this space or just beginning to explore it, your voice and experience are welcome.
