Abstract

Neurodivergent engineering students face unique barriers in learning environments. To increase accessibility, reducing cognitive load is essential for people with learning and intellectual disabilities. Storytelling is a unique approach for addressing this issue as it provides structure, encourages reflection, and engages multiple sensory experiences that can enhance students' interest in learning.
