About
Jena Barchas-Lichtenstein is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of cognitive science, education, and inclusive design, with a particular focus on neurodiversity and computational thinking. Her most-cited paper, "Including neurodiversity in computational thinking" (2024, 9 citations), makes a significant contribution by identifying the overlap between foundational CT practices and executive function differences, analyzing teaching materials designed to support diverse learners. This work is notable for its practical implications in making computational education more accessible. Barchas-Lichtenstein's research addresses how cognitive differences shape learning, offering insights that bridge theory and classroom application. Her scholarship is gaining traction as educators and technologists seek evidence-based approaches to inclusion. By centering neurodiversity in computational thinking, she is helping to reshape how we understand and teach foundational skills in an increasingly digital world.
