DISCLAIMER: The tips in this section have been compiled as resources for learning and are NOT meant to diagnose or treat learning differences. If you are interested in professional help for potential learning differences please contact Boise State Health Services for more information.

For the purposes of this section we will be using the definition of neurodiversity found here. This definition states that neurodiversity is "individual differences in brain functioning regarded as normal variations within the human population." We recognize that some of the mainstream study tips and popular academic success resources found on this website may not work for everyone but that doesn't mean that nothing will work. Please use and feel free to share the resources provided below. 

Why create a Neurodiversity section? Many students can identify with the term neurodiversity and regardless of official diagnosis many people can benefit from study resources that change up the traditional narratives of study success. Additionally many of these resources name official diagnosis but that doesn't mean that many people who aren't officially diagnosed might not benefit from the content. For example, we might include closed caption on videos for people who are deaf or hard of hearing but many people benefit from closed captions regardless of their hearing ability. So, if you see a resource that says "How I succeed with ADHD" don't discount that that resource might be helpful to you!
