Education
Is there room for everyone in universities?

Neurodivergent students in computer science degree programs encounter technological, cognitive, and social barriers that they must tackle on their own. Accessibility is seen as an individual responsibility and SPS and universities do not collaborate enough. Universal design can ensure more inclusive learning environments and better support.

Education
Universities must anticipate and welcome neurodivergent students

PhD fellow Valeria Borsotti explores barriers faced by neurodivergent students in computer science. Structural challenges and lack of accommodations hinder inclusion. She calls for universal design and greater disability awareness in education.
