Divergent By Design
With Dr Kimberly Douglass, Ph.D.
Do you have ideas that you believe will work but need some help figuring out how to get your ideas organized and into action? Is the political climate causing you to think of solutions, ways to change systems, but it all seems too overwhelming to get started? Then sign up for Divergent By Design with Dr. Kimberly Douglass who will work with you to understand the Design-thinker that you are and how to move forward with your best ideas.
Dr Douglass also has courses, books, and more to help you learn about and support your efforts in Decolonizing Neurodivergence. Her course, Late Diagnosis: a Personalized Invitation to Decolonialism, will help you learn how to push past colonial constructs to get your needs met and fill in gaps in your personal care.

Late Diagnosis: a Personalized Invitation to Decolonialism
-
This guided study experience will help you name your design thinking skills and begin putting those skills to work in organized ways.
This learning experience is structured to deliver certain outcomes but flexible enough to offer you personalized learning. My conversations about learning often begin with Bloom’s Taxonomy - .https://us.utah.edu/learning-outcomes-assessment/blooms-taxonomy.php .
Divergent by Design is a one-to-one independent study with me, Dr Kimberly Douglass. I have over 21 years of experience in adult learning. I believe the most effective adult learning experiences are student-centered and relationship-based. I want to know what you are interested in feeling and imagining, as much as I want to know what you are interested in thinking and doing.

This program is a great starting place for people who feel stuck or lost in their education, their career or in life generally. It is also great for people who feel they have a million "unuseful" ideas. I want to help you begin designing a new reality in which your knowledge and skills are valued.
You can use what you learn here to affect many areas of life or a particular area of life. You can use the knowledge and skills you gain in this experience:
To prepare you for an undergraduate or graduate program at a college or university.
To enhance your experience in the workplace or in career development
To provide yourself or others creative accommodations
To improve quality of life inside your home
To pursue a creative outlet

This experience takes place over two to four sessions: week 1 co-creation session, week 2 co-creation session, week 3 co-creation session, week 4 co-creation session.
