The numbers of autistic people attending higher education institutions in the UK have steadily increased over the last decade and it is vital academic, teaching, and support staff have a good understanding of what is means to be autistic and how best to support their students during their time at University. This session aims to provide staff with a greater understanding of autism and the experiences of autistic students in higher education, with practical recommendations for providing the appropriate support. The session will be run by Dr Magali-Fleur Barnoux and Dr Damian Milton from the Tizard Centre (SSPSSR), with participatory input from existing Tizard Centre students. Additional sessions will also be provided in January 2020 and June 2020.

The session will take place on Wednesday 11 September 2019 at the Darwin Board Room from 09:30 to 12:30.
