Quote from Undivided article: "What's really important to know is, students have to initiate this process,' says Hamblet. 'We do not go to the freshman dorms and knock on all the doors and say, 'Hey, kiddo, do you have a learning disability? You want to come register with us?' It is up to the student to seek out accommodations and follow through on completing the process to access them." Female student writing in a notebooand a male student wearing headphones and typing on a laptop.
Article title on Undivded Platform is "College Accommodations for Students with Disabilties." Female student writing in a notebooand a male student wearing headphones and typing on a laptop
🧵This interview I did with @Undivided is chock-full of information for students with disabilities, their families, and the professionals working with them, including...

My son had his first appointment at Great Ormand Street last week. Due to his condition, he rarely leaves the house. The day was made so much easier by train assistance working effectively and outstanding input from the Learning Disability team at the hospital.

Out and About Group: Visiting Leeds Art Gallery A group of photos of members visiting an art gallery, looking at artwork and sitting at a table in a cafe.
Last week, our #LearningDisability Day Opportunities Out and About Group visited @leedsartgallery.bsky.social to see the @pyramid-arts.bsky.social exhibition!
The members loved it on Tuesday at their workshop. Even those that would normally shy away from arty activities got involved and had fun.
