Neurodiversity at Uni

Neurodiversity at Uni brings together neurodivergent students and staff for an open conversation about what university can look and feel like for people who think, learn, communicate and experience the world differently.

The panel will explore lived experiences of studying and working at university, including the barriers neurodivergent people can face, the supports and adjustments that make a difference, navigating disclosure and self-advocacy, and what genuine inclusion can look like in practice.

There will also be an opportunity for audience questions and discussion. You are welcome to participate in whatever way works for you. You can listen, contribute to the discussion, ask a question in the room, or submit a written or anonymous question.

What to expect

The event will include:

• a facilitated panel discussion with neurodivergent students and staff

• conversation about accessibility, belonging, study, work and university life

• lived experiences and practical perspectives

• audience Q&A

• opportunities to participate without needing to speak publicly

• breaks and space to step out if you need to

No knowledge or experience is required to attend. Students and staff are welcome.

Accessibility and participation

We want this event to support different ways of participating.

You are welcome to move, take breaks, step out of the room and return, or participate without speaking.

We will provide options for written and anonymous questions, alongside the opportunity to ask questions during the discussion.

If there is an accessibility adjustment that would support your attendance or participation, please let us know when you register.
