Feedback highlights from the online session:
“The Reasonable Adjustments list was so helpful to actively discuss and use for reference.”“I think certain traits can be overlooked when presented in students. It makes you think about how to best support them rather then expecting them to conform.”
“I really liked discussing strategies and needs with my team, and it was really useful to go through reasonable adjustments. Lots of practical activities which was great.”
“The fact that we were discussing about solutions on the challenges we face… it opened some space for the teams to discuss about useful techniques so that every mentor can support their focus list students in the best way possible.”

Feedback highlights from the session:
“Including as many adjustments as possible in regular teaching practice, not only applying to students with a diagnosis, was very useful.”
“To look at the positive traits as well as difficulties, of our learners and how these can be used to motivate them and encourage peer support in classes, was a key takeaway.”
“Relating good practice to specific activities, i.e. the speaking game with the movement adjustments, was very helpful.”
“This session made me reflect more on my teaching practice and try to be more inclusive.”
“Very helpful training, I'd like the same training as online session for those who couldn't attend.”
