Ever wished you had a little help getting started on a task, organising your thoughts or making sense of complicated information?
AI might be useful. In this friendly, practical workshop, we'll explore ways to make AI work for your needs, whether that's learning something new, planning your day or making everyday tasks feel more manageable.
We'll try out useful approaches together, look at where AI can get things wrong and explore how to stay in control of what you use.
Where: Live online
Duration: 90 minutes
Who: Neurodivergent adults and young adults, including those exploring their own learning needs
Experience: No previous AI experience needed
What will I learn?
By the end of the workshop, you'll have explored how to:
-
Understand what AI can do: Explore how generative AI tools work, their capabilities, limitations and common misconceptions.
-
Identify opportunities for support: Recognise ways AI might help with planning, organisation, executive functions, communication and learning.
-
Use AI in neuroinclusive ways: Practise adapting prompts and outputs to individual preferences, processing needs and accessibility requirements.
-
Evaluate AI critically and safely: Recognise inaccurate or biased outputs, consider privacy and data protection, and understand when human judgement or support is essential.
-
Build a personalised AI toolkit: Develop practical prompts and strategies that participants can adapt for everyday life, work or study.
Who is it for?
This workshop may be particularly useful if you:
- Find starting tasks, organising information or planning difficult.
- Want help making information easier to understand or work with.
- Would like to explore AI without feeling pressured to use it.
- Already use AI but want to make better-informed choices about it.
You don't need a formal diagnosis or any previous experience with AI.
What will we do?
Get to know AI
We'll explore how generative AI works, what it can help with and why its answers aren't always reliable.
Try it for yourself
We'll look at practical examples for learning, breaking down tasks, planning, writing and communication. You'll have opportunities to adapt prompts to your own needs.
Use it thoughtfully
We'll discuss privacy, accuracy, bias, personal choice and how to avoid becoming overly reliant on AI.
Make a plan
You'll identify a few approaches worth trying and create your own starting collection of prompts.
What's included?
- A 90-minute live, interactive online workshop.
- Practical demonstrations and optional activities.
- A downloadable AI for Life and Learning guide.
- Adaptable prompts and reflection activities.
- Opportunities to ask questions.
- A follow-up email with resources.
Why a brain-friendly approach?
Attention, memory, communication and executive functions can work differently from person to person. Some tasks take more effort than others, and the support that's useful for one person may not help someone else.
We'll draw on psychology, learning science and neuroinclusive practice to explore where AI might reduce unnecessary demands and where it might introduce new ones.
The aim is to help you make informed choices about what works for you.
