Скачать или смотреть HE/Public Sector Update: Addressing Autism, Dyslexia, and Neurodivergence in education and work

We live in a neurodiverse population, which consists of both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals.

In this webinar, we learned from UK university practitioners about their approach to making accessibility improvements for students and staff with neurodivergent conditions including Autism, Asperger's, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette Syndrome and Synaesthesia.

On the webinar, we were joined by:

Rob Howe, Head of Learning Technology at The University of Northampton
Jennie Dettmer, Acting Senior Professional and Academic Development Tutor at the University of Bedfordshire

Rob and Jennie shared and explained the findings of a recent session they ran for students with neurodivergent needs, particularly focused on the impact of Covid and the students' experiences at their different institutions.

AbilityNet's Teresa Loftus also discussed the Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) support available for neurodivergent students. She highlighted the issues some disabled people may face in the transition from education to work, including reasonable adjustments that may need to be provided, and how AbilityNet can help employers through its eLearning tools.

AbilityNet's Education and Workplace Relationship Manager, Helen Wickes, also provided a refresher about accessibility in the public sector.

AbilityNet is a charity that believes in a digital world accessible to all.
