Understanding the Experiences of Neurodivergent Students with GenAI
01 May 2025
The purpose of this project is to explore how neurodivergent students use, perceive, and experience GenAI in higher education. Through a series of focus groups, this research aims to uncover both the benefits and challenges that GenAI presents for neurodivergent learners.
Requirements
- Be over 18 years old.
- Be currently enrolled in a university taught program.
- Have experience using at least one GenAI tool (e.g., ChatGPT, Microsoft Co-Pilot) for academic purposes.
- Communicate fluently in English.
- If you are a neurodivergent student, you should self-identify as having at least one of the neurodevelopmental conditions commonly included under the neurodiversity umbrella, such as ADHD, ASC, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and/or Tourette syndrome. You do not need to provide proof of a formal diagnosis to take part.
- If you are a neurotypical student, you should not have received a formal diagnosis of any neurodevelopmental condition.
