info_outlineGuest: Angus Chan turned his early academic struggles into a mission to redesign education for everyone. He shares his deeply personal journey through higher education as a neurodivergent student and how those early struggles shaped his commitment to equity, inclusion, and educational reform.
We explore the evolving nature of autism understanding and why honouring cultural identity, holistic wellness, and student voice is essential in today’s classrooms. Angus reflects on the power of reciprocal teaching, how AI can enhance learning when used thoughtfully, and the role of collaboration among educators in fostering inclusive environments.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone working toward a future where neurodiverse learners are not only supported but also celebrated.
