Supporting students on Practice-based Learning with Neurodivergence

Join us for our second multi-professional AHP webinar where we will explore supporting students on placement who have neurodivergence and/or reasonable adjustments.

In this 2-hour webinar we will begin with a generic hour for all subjects.

Occupational Therapy Lecturer and the Inclusion Officer for OT, Susan Doogan, will lead the first hour.

Following the session, you will: 

1. Have a foundational understanding of a variety of neurodivergent conditions which are identified on student's inclusion plans (ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia)
2. Have an understanding of how neurodivergent differences may impact the demonstration of learning on placement (sensory, communication (verbal and written), planning and organisation. 
3. Develop an enhanced understanding of how to foster an inclusive environment for learning.
4. Understand the terminology of 'reasonable' adjustments within your own workplace and develop a range of reasonable adjustment options for discussion with students. 
5. Discuss the partnership pathway to be utilised with RGU Inclusion team

In the second hour we will split into breakout rooms for the following four AHP subjects:-

• Diagnostic Radiography
• Dietetics
• Occupational Therapy 
• Physiotherapy 

In the breakout rooms the Placement Co-ordinator and the Inclusion Officer for that subject will be present to discuss common themes and reasonable adjustments. There will be opportunities to discuss and ask questions in this forum.
