Neurodiverse community/ neurodivergent students: starting out effectively (11:00 - 12:30)

Whether starting out or continuing your student journey, being a neurodivergent learner can present both challenges and opportunities. In this special workshop we will detail and share strategies for effective learning to help you embrace and capitalise on differences. You will receive practical advice and suggestions from tutors and students.

Those awaiting assessment or ally's to a neurodivergent person/ people are also very welcome.
