O desafio da inclusão de neurodivergentes em planetários

Abstract

The involvement of individuals with neurodivergent conditions in scientific communication activities poses a challenge for Science Education. This study aims to outline the outcomes of an outreach initiative that aimed to include this audience, which took place within the scope of a university extension program. Two planetarium interactive sessions were organized, which were tailored to ensure that all 32 participants felt comfortable and included. Post-sessions, participants shared their experiences, answered questions, and depicted their observations through drawings. The results of the study showed positive engagement and demonstrated learning among the participants. The study explores educational implications, highlights progress, and identifies potential avenues for future research.
