General Guidelines:

Make sure your chapter addresses the connection between Neurodiversity and Language (Rhetoric, bilingualism, multilingualism, academic writing, language assessment, language communication, speech, deaf language, intercultural communication etc. ).

For fidelity of terminology and stance, we recommend checking Dr. Nick Walker’s work. (https://neuroqueer.com/ / https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8992885)

Formatting Guidelines:

- Please save your chapter in Microsoft word or compatible editable file
- Please label your file in this manner: lastname_NeurodiversityAL_v2 (if multiple authors, include last names with 'underscore dash ( _ )' The v signifies the version so version 2 (draft 2) is 'v2'.
