Different learning styles The image displays the logos of Laura, Alice and Scott

Different Learning Styles Auditory Visual Reading Autodidactic Kinesthetic

Visual -requiring information in form of pictures, signs, demonstrations over just hearing words. Reading - processing information through words on a page, board or device. Auditory - learning through audio information, such as talks, podcasts or audiobooks. Kinesthetic - learning through body movements and being practical rather than sitting down at a desk Autodidactic - becoming self-taught in subjects that someone is naturally interested in.

Logical/analytical - use logical and their reasoning to process information and understand concepts. They can often be pattern seekers and be effective at collecting data. Social/linguistic - learners who enjoy education when part of a group or working with their peers on projects and activities. Solitary - for individuals who are best learning on their own rather in groups. Nature learners - those who thrive when learning outdoors, such as within forest schools. Many neurodivergent people appear to thrive in these settings compared to traditional education.

Below are some graphics created with @laurahellfeld.bsky.social and @ndjourneys.bsky.social on learning styles. We hope that people find these useful!

🎤 Upcoming speaking events this year…so far

That’s a good point it being mid week. I hear you with the pressures leading up and that off feeling after.
AuDHD here too 👋😊

Look what arrived the other day 😍. A physical copy of Autistic Revolution magazine issue 3 🤩

In this Summer issue Jenny Loughran and myself introduced the new space “Autistic Retreat”, combining AR’s a previous magazine sections Education and Reframing Families.

Everyone talks about these “Weird days between Christmas and New year”.

I wonder if that feeling is magnified for those of us Neurodivergents…

Would love to know peoples thoughts on this 💚

Happy Holidays from Neurodiverse Journeys ✨

Oh bless bob! I love the names! Irwin looks very comfy on his friend! What amazing animals with big personalities!

Love Alfredo’s outfit! I started finch last week, it’s been great! True words I said to my counsellor “I’ve been much better at self-care, I’m not doing it for me I’m doing it to keep my cartoon bird happy” 😆

It’s happening!

Walk this morning with my little pudding! I’d love to know about any animals you have in your life?

This is Demelza, not your typical pug….she has long legs, runs really fast and was once found on the top of the shed after scaling it like a cat!

She likes both bolting in circles and lap cuddles 🥰

Thank you for including me 💚

Yes please! Thank you so much for asking 💚

I went to the Festival of Light this weekend. I thought it was good to see they had options to walk around the more inclosed areas that could be quite sensory overwhelming ✨
