Free Training from USP/Esalq Addresses Neurodiversity and Inclusive Strategies Applied to School Routine, with Live Online Classes, Institutional Certificate and Temporary Access to Content, Aimed at Teachers and Education Professionals Interested in More Accessible Pedagogical Practices.
The University of São Paulo (USP), through the “Luiz de Queiroz” College of Agriculture (Esalq), is opening registrations for the free online minicourse “Learning and Neurodiversity”, aimed at educators and professionals who work directly with educational inclusion.
The aim of the training is to present, in an applied manner, how to use Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to accommodate students with different cognitive profiles in the same classroom, including neurodivergent students, respecting rhythms, needs, and diverse ways of learning.
Practical Application of Universal Design for Learning in School
The structure of the minicourse starts from the understanding that knowing the concept of neurodiversity is not enough if the teacher does not have concrete tools to transform everyday pedagogical practice.

For this reason, the program brings together foundational elements of UDL, discussion on learning profiles, and inclusive teaching strategies, articulated to real situations in the school environment and the analysis of case studies.
The central focus is the effective adaptation of teaching practice, prioritizing actions that can be implemented in the daily classroom routine, without limiting to the theoretical approach to the topic.
In this sense, the course presents itself as a support for lesson planning that encompasses multiple forms of engagement, content presentation, and assessment, contributing to the reduction of learning barriers.
Furthermore, the organization informs that there will be live chats throughout the training, aimed at interaction among participants and clarifying doubts about the topics covered.
Class Dates and Access Period to the Content
The minicourse will be held in two live meetings, distributed over the training period.
The classes are scheduled for February 6 and 12, 2026, always from 7 PM to 10 PM, as announced by the organization.
The total duration of the course is two weeks, considering the follow-up period for activities and materials.
After the live classes are concluded, the content will remain available for 30 days, allowing participants to revisit the topics covered.
The 100% online format broadens the reach of the training, enabling professionals from different regions of the country to participate without the need for displacement.
Target Audience for Neurodiversity Training
The training is directed at professionals who are part of the educational ecosystem and work in various sectors of teaching.
Among the target audience are Basic Education and Higher Education teachers, as well as pedagogical coordinators and school managers.
Education support professionals, such as psychopedagogists, counselors, and inclusion aides who assist students in their daily school activities, can also participate.
Students in degree and pedagogy programs are likewise included, broadening access to initial training aligned with inclusive practices.
USP/Esalq Certification and Completion Criteria
At the end of the minicourse, participants who meet the established requirements will receive a certificate issued by USP/Esalq.
The issuance of the certificate is conditioned on participation in the proposed activities and completion of a final assessment.
The organization informs that this assessment is part of the regular completion process of the training, although specific criteria are not publicly detailed.
Teaching and Academic Proposal of the Minicourse
The minicourse is presented with teaching by Anna Karolina Miranda Oliveira, described as a doctor in Letters, with a focus on education.
According to the promotional material, her academic trajectory is related to research in language acquisition and learning processes.
In addition to the training content, the promotion mentions that participants will have priority access to content and benefits linked to a specialization in neuroscience and learning in education.
This specialization is associated with the MBA USP/Esalq and is presented as an additional benefit, without changing the free nature of the minicourse.
Limited Slots and Order of Registration
The organization informs that slots are limited, due to the need to ensure the quality of interaction in live chats.
As a result, registrations may close before the final deadline if the participant limit is reached.
The announced registration period is from November 25, 2025, to February 5, 2026.
Free courses with institutional certificates usually attract a lot of demand, especially among teachers interested in updating in the area of inclusive education.
How to Register for the Learning and Neurodiversity Minicourse
Registrations are open from November 25, 2025, to February 5, 2026, and must be made on the official page of the “Learning and Neurodiversity” minicourse, available on the MBA USP/Esalq website.
After filling out the form, access instructions and other communications will be sent to the email provided during registration.
The organization recommends paying attention to the filling out of the data and monitoring the inbox and spam folder to avoid missing important guidance about the start of classes.
