#426: The RAAS Pathway: A Key Concept in Nursing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Podcast · Maureen Osuna, MSN, RN - Nursing school educator, author, and nursing student enthusiast. · In this show, Maureen Osuna, MSN, RN (Nurse Mo) breaks down a wide range of nursing school concepts so they’re easy to understand. Each episode aims to help nursing students improve their study techniques, pass nursing school exams, and feel more confident in clinical. If you’re nervous about nursing school, not “getting it” in lecture, or feeling overwhelmed with all the information you have to learn, this podcast will help you optimize your study time so you can learn more with less stress. While nursing school is challenging, it doesn’t have to be impossible. When concepts are explained in a way that “just makes sense”, nursing students have better recall on exams, feel more confident working with patients in clinical, and are better prepared for NCLEX. Nurse Mo understands the struggles nursing students face and draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience to make nursing school less intimidating. Each episode removes the “fluff” and focuses on the key things a nursing student (and nurse) needs to know about a variety of disease conditions. The show also provides tips for succeeding in nursing school, guidance for students and new nurses, and insider information to help you excel at the bedside.

In classrooms, workplaces, and online learning environments, individuals approach learning in unique ways. Neurotypical vs. neurodivergent learning styles highlight distinct approaches to processing information. Understanding these differences is key to fostering inclusivity and equity in education and beyond.

In this blog, we'll explore what defines Neurotypical vs. Neurodivergent Learning styles, their key differences, and practical strategies to support both groups effectively.

Whether you're a teacher, parent, or employer, this guide provides actionable insights to empower diverse learners.

What Does Neurotypical Mean?

Definition: Neurotypical refers to individuals whose cognitive and behavioral development aligns with standard expectations in areas like learning, social interaction, and emotional regulation.

How Neurotypical Learners Process Information:

Linear Learning: Tend to learn in a step-by-step, linear process.

Traditional Teaching Methods Work: Neurotypical learners typically succeed in lecture-based environments, reading-based learning, and standard assessment formats like exams.

Less Need for Accommodations: Neurotypical learners are less likely to need accommodations, such as extended test time or assistive technology.

Learning Strengths of Neurotypical Students:

Follow routines and instructions with ease.

Adjust to traditional classroom models without requiring modifications.

Adapt well to structured lesson plans and pre-set deadlines.

What Does Neurodivergent Mean?

Definition: Neurodivergent individuals have cognitive differences that affect how they process, learn, and engage with the world. Neurodivergence includes conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and more.

How Neurodivergent Learners Process Information:

Non-Linear Learning: Information is absorbed in bursts or "aha moments" rather than a step-by-step process.

Sensory Differences: Sensory processing may be heightened (hypersensitive) or dulled (hyposensitive), impacting focus and engagement.

Varied Learning Preferences: Hands-on, visual, or experiential learning styles may work better than traditional reading or listening methods.

Learning Strengths of Neurodivergent Students:

Excellent problem-solving skills and out-of-the-box thinking.

Ability to hyper-focus on tasks that capture their interest.

Unique perspectives that bring creative and unconventional solutions.

Key Differences Between Neurotypical and Neurodivergent Learning Styles

Learning Approach
Step-by-step, linear learning process

Non-linear, often requires varied entry points

Preferred Methods
Traditional methods (lectures, reading)

Hands-on, visual, experiential learning

Sensory Processing
Standard sensory experience

Can be hypersensitive or hyposensitive

Pace of Learning
Consistent and steady

May experience bursts of insight or delays

Social Learning
Comfortable in group activities

May prefer individual or small-group learning

How to Support Neurotypical and Neurodivergent Learners

Strategies to Support Neurotypical Learners

Provide Consistent Routines: Neurotypical students thrive with structured daily schedules.

Utilize Predictable Teaching Methods: Lectures, reading assignments, and clear deadlines work well for neurotypical learners.

Set Clear Instructions and Expectations: These learners benefit from well-defined instructions with minimal ambiguity.

Strategies to Support Neurodivergent Learners

Offer Multiple Learning Formats: Use visual aids, hands-on activities, and movement-based learning.

Use Assistive Technology: Tools like text-to-speech software, sensory tools (like fidget spinners), and audiobooks can help students stay engaged.

Practice Sensory-Inclusive Teaching: Avoid bright lights, loud noises, and other sensory triggers.

Give Flexible Deadlines: Time management can be a challenge for some neurodivergent learners, so offer extended deadlines when possible.

Break Tasks Into Steps: Use checklists, timers, and smaller "mini-goals" to help neurodivergent learners stay on track.

How Executive Function Coaching Supports Both Neurotypical and Neurodivergent Learners

What is Executive Function Coaching?

Executive function coaching focuses on improving cognitive skills like time management, task completion, emotional regulation, and working memory. These skills are essential for success in both neurotypical and neurodivergent learning.

How Executive Function Coaching Supports Neurotypical Learners

Improves Time Management: Helps students develop study routines, meet deadlines, and stay on schedule.

Builds Self-Motivation: Coaches teach goal-setting techniques that keep neurotypical learners engaged.

Enhances Test Preparation: Helps neurotypical students manage large amounts of information during test season.

How Executive Function Coaching Supports Neurodivergent Learners

Builds Emotional Regulation: Teaches tools to handle frustration and manage anxiety, which often affect neurodivergent learners.

Enhances Task Initiation: Helps students who struggle with "task paralysis" to start assignments confidently.

Supports Working Memory: Coaches teach memory aids and repetition strategies to help students retain information.

Increases Flexibility in Learning: Neurodivergent learners often struggle with transitions, but coaching prepares them for task-switching and change.

Why Embracing Neurodivergent Learning Styles Benefits Everyone

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Designing learning environments that meet the needs of neurodivergent learners benefits all students, not just neurodivergent ones.

Diverse Perspectives: Neurodivergent learners bring fresh perspectives that can benefit group discussions, innovation, and collaboration.

Reduces Academic Pressure: By promoting flexible, inclusive learning strategies, both neurotypical and neurodivergent learners feel supported.

Final Thoughts on Neurotypical vs. Neurodivergent Learning Styles

Neurotypical and neurodivergent learners process information in distinct but equally valuable ways. Understanding and supporting these differences is essential for inclusive education and equitable access to learning.

By incorporating tools like assistive technology, executive function coaching, and sensory-inclusive learning strategies, educators, parents, and employers can create environments where all learners thrive.
