Please join us for a multi-professional AHP in-person workshop, supported by NHS Tayside. We will explore supporting students on placement who have neurodivergence and/or reasonable adjustments. Due to this being an in-person event places are limited so please register to secure your space!

In this in-person workshop we will explore the following areas:

  • An Inclusion update from an RGU perspective
  • A range of neurodivergent conditions which are identified on student's inclusion plans (e.g. ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia).
  • How neurodivergent differences may impact the demonstration of learning on placement (sensory, communication (verbal and written), planning and organisation. 
  • Develop an enhanced understanding of how to foster an inclusive environment for learning, including a sense of belonging.
  • Understand the terminology of 'reasonable' adjustments within your own workplace and develop a range of reasonable adjustment options for discussion with students. 
  • Discuss examples of current practice and learn from others.
  • Develop strategies to support both practice educators and students in this evolving area.
