Online seminar – 29th January 2025
Join us online for a discussion of how academic departments can better support autistic students. Our panel of experts will share insights, best practices, and resources to enhance the educational experience for these students. Whether you’re a faculty member, professional services staff, or simply interested in the topic, this event is for you. Let’s work together to create a more inclusive and supportive academic environment!
The number of autistic students in higher education in the UK has increased by more than 300% since 2014. However, support for these students is not consistently distributed or implemented. Autistic students frequently report anxiety and depression and a sense of isolation particularly at key transition points. At the same time, they ask for more joined up academic and social support as well as more awareness and understanding amongst academic staff.
This workshop brings together a range of leading experts in UK academia who are developing innovative approaches to supporting autistic students within teaching, learning and assessment spaces, in order to improve provision at the chalkface.
