Neurodiversity (Specific Learning Differences; SpLDs) and the Student Academic Experience: co-creating a mixed method project to explore the lived experiences of neurodivergent students studying at the University of Warwick.
Across the Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) sector, we see a positive increase in the number of students starting courses with declared disabilities, particularly Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs) such as Dyslexia and Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Condition.
Neurodiversity encompasses all of these mentioned SpLDs, many of which co-occur or overlap. However, research across the HEIs has identified that disparities exist when comparing the continuation rates and the learning and teaching experiences of disabled students versus non-disabled students (NSS data). At the University of Warwick, our TEF submission in 2018 and the Access Participation Plan also echoed these wider sector research findings.
