Description
My proposed research investigates the phenomena of ADHD, Autistic, and other broadly neurodiverse student’s classroom success in direct relation to the accessibility practices and “openness” of the classroom. Classroom accessibility will be monitored with the use of three main implementations: sensory friendly lessons, fidget use, and open seating options. Students will be evaluated on success and improvement in two categories: emotional wellness and academic success. Students will be evaluated on emotional wellness by completion of a bi-weekly survey inquiring into their academic anxiety and self image. Students will be evaluated on academic success by review of state test scores in comparison with other districts as well as per grade with the same assessment given to both the test and control groups. The predicted result is the implementation of accessible classroom practices will cause direct exponential student success in neurodiverse students in correlation to how accessible the classroom is. Additionally, neurotypical students - students without any form of ADHD, Autism Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and other behavioral disorders - will also see an increase of academic success as well as emotional stability and wellbeing. I am requesting $50,000 in aid for one academic calendar year’s worth of research and data collection in classrooms.
