The WIHEA Neurodiversity and the Student Experience Learning Circle is working with the Students' Union and the Dean of Students to develop and deliver neurodiversity training to staff and students. This training will help raise awareness of neurodiversity and improve understanding of how to support neurodivergent people. We have just been awarded funding to pay neurodivergent students to design and co-deliver CPD courses. We are proud that our work has strengthened relationships with Autism@Warwick, SU officers, and the University. We have co-created the courses below. Please sign up!
