SUMMARY:NeuroSupport GPT: Demonstrating the Design Process of a Custom GPT for Inclusive Teaching
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nCustom Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs)\, 
 developed by OpenAI\, enable users to create specialized AI models to 
 support instructors in higher education. As enrollment of neurodivergent 
 students increases\, many do not disclose their neurodivergence\, limiting 
 access to necessary accommodations. At the same time\, instructors often 
 struggle to support these students due to a lack of awareness and training 
 in inclusive pedagogies. Custom GPTs can help bridge this gap by generating 
 content and shaping instructional approaches. They can explain 
 neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and autism and recommend inclusive 
 teaching strategies aligned with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) 
 principles. Regular engagement with these tools can enhance instructors’ 
 self-efficacy and confidence in implementing inclusive teaching 
 practices.\n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, we will share our experience 
 designing a custom GPT and demonstrate our development process using the 
 ADDIE instructional design model (Analyze\, Design\, Develop\, Implement\, 
 Evaluate) to foster more inclusive learning environments. This custom GPT 
 is designed to deepen instructors’ understanding of neurodiversity and 
 equip them with evidence-based teaching strategies. It provides guidance on 
 UDL principles and effective course design to better support neurodivergent 
 students. Additionally\, we will share findings from a pilot study 
 examining user experiences with this custom GPT\, highlighting its impact 
 on instructors’ knowledge and confidence in inclusive teaching. After 
 this presentation\, attendees will gain insights into the process of 
 designing a custom GPT\, understand how the ADDIE model informs its 
 development\, and learn how AI-driven tools can support instructors in 
 implementing inclusive teaching practices and Universal Design for 
 Learning.
