A FREE event for disabled pupils who are prospective University students, their parents and other allies organised by the Disability Services of various colleges of the University of London. This event is suitable for any pupil over 11 years of age, but is likely to be of particular interest to those in Years 9-11 and at FE College.
Target Audience:
- 1. All disabled pupils who are considering attending any University are welcome, including those with mobility, dexterity and sensory impairments, as well as specific learning differences (e.g. dyslexia), Autism Spectrum conditions and chronic physical or mental health issues, much of the information will be relevant to all.
- 2. The parents and other allies (e.g. teachers, Further Education lecturers, Special Needs Co-ordinators, Careers Advisors, Social Workers ) of disabled pupils.
Prospective students over the age of 15 years are welcome to come alone to this event if they so wish, but we anticipate that parents, teachers, Special Needs Co-ordinators, Careers Advisors, Social Workers and other allies may be interested in attending too.
This event will focus primarily on prospective students who are likely to have high disability-related support needs in both the academic and social/residential spheres (e.g. accessible residential accommodation & personal care) though the information provided is also likely to be useful to those with lower support needs.
