About this listen
In this episode, Jenny, Lyndsey and Chantel from our Inclusive Learning Department address autism, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, focusing on understanding these conditions and how the college supports affected students. Autism affects social interactions and communication, dyslexia impacts reading and writing, and dyscalculia involves difficulties with math. The college provides tailored support, such as 1:1 teaching, assistive technology, and structured environments, to help students thrive. These efforts aim to create an inclusive atmosphere where neurodivergent students can succeed academically and socially.
Inclusive Learning Department:
Jenny Barron – Specialist tutor for Dyslexia
Lindsay Wright – Specialist tutor for Autism and social emotional mental health
Chantel Denton – SEND Officer
