In today’s Universities, students with Specific Learning Difficulties and Differences are seeking effective learning strategies to aid learning.

Universities' Support Staff are under increasing pressure to deliver cost-effective evidence-based study skills approaches which promote the independence of the students in terms of their own learning.

This course is designed to achieve both these aims, firstly through the support staff helping the student to understand how to adapt and use study skills approaches and secondly by directing the student to where they can use commercial materials to support their learning to promote their independence.

This webinar is delivered by Pete Jarrett who is recognised as being an international expert on remote learning especially for learners from a diverse learning background, he has delivered training in both European and Asian training settings which have very different approaches to learning. This means that as well as having to deliver training which considers cultural differences, and learning differences, he has had to think through how the technology that is available can best meet the needs of the learners in a technical way to enable them to achieve their learning goals.

It is estimated that around 5-7% of children and 2-4% of adults have ADHD, in the UK are believed to have ADHD, many learners do not receive effective educational support. This course is designed to enable an educator working in post-16 education to enhance their skills in providing effective support to people with ADHD.

The Trainers are UKAAN (UK Adult ADHD Network) trainers, who specialise in offering support to post-16-year-olds. This course is a joint UKAAN/PATOSS course. Educators providing any support to students with a learning difference in post 16 education may it be a College, 6thForm or University will work with people with ADHD.
