In this research, we report on the findings of the first national survey of neurodivergent post-secondary students and recent graduates as well as in-depth interviews with neurodivergent students and graduates, and staff and leaders working in accessibility services.

How do neurodivergent students experience post-secondary education? How can colleges, polytechnics, and universities reduce the barriers that neurodivergent students face? How can faculty and staff better address the needs of neurodivergent students and improve their academic success and wellbeing?
