Infographic titled “Beyond Compliance: A Neurodiversity-Informed Approach to Academic Integrity” by Eaton, S. E. (2025). The graphic is divided into two sections:
Left side (The Problem: How Current Systems Create Barriers):
Illustration of a large, grey industrial machine with gears and pipes, symbolizing rigid systems.
Three smaller panels show issues:
Competitive Assessments Create Unfair Disadvantages – A brain chained to a stopwatch and a test paper, representing time-limited exams penalizing neurodivergent students.
Surveillance Tech Poses a Dual Risk – AI detection tools and proctoring software shown with cameras and screens, highlighting disproportionate privacy risks and false positives.
Cognitive Differences Are Misinterpreted as Misconduct – Brains labeled “dyslexia” and “ADHD” next to writing patterns, showing how unique writing styles are misjudged as plagiarism.
Right side (The Solution: Building an Inclusive Framework):
A vibrant tree with multicolored brain-shaped foliage, symbolizing growth and diversity.
Three solution panels:
Embrace Epistemic Plurality – Diverse ways of knowing and assessing knowledge, illustrated with colorful brains and books.
Shift to Human-Centered Pedagogy – Group of people interacting, promoting compassion, dignity, and trust.
Design Accessible Assessments from the Start – Icons for multiple formats (text, audio, video) and a UDL (Universal Design for Learning) badge, emphasizing inclusive design.
Background uses soft pastel tones.
