Student needs
Disability’ is a term which encompasses diversity. Hearing and visual impairments, mental health difficulties, Specific Learning Differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, mobility impairments, Autistic Spectrum Disorders and ‘unseen’ disabilities such as asthma, epilepsy and diabetes, for example, all come under this broad term. It is up to the individual student to disclose information about any disability or learning difference that they may have. They can do this by contacting disability services who will discuss support requirements for their study.
Action: Look at the following videos on student engagement from the Open University Inclusive Teaching website.
Student voice 1 – Jemma’s experience 
Student voice 2 – Nick’s experiences
I really like how the videos have transcripts so that this learning experience is consistent with what it is preaching. (Note: the University of Sheffield link seems to be down.)
