Post-16 Programme
Our Flagship programme running remotely for college & 6th form students in London, Birmingham & Leicester between September-February
•In this engaging programme delivered by university students, medical professionals, & recent graduates, your knowledge of the Special Educational Differences (SPEDs) will be expanded.
•You will be investigating the origins of mainstream stigmas about the most common SPEDs and unpicking their impact on the SPED community in regards to the following themes: Mental Health, Education, Employment & Spiritual Development.
•Each session will focus on helping you develop a different transferrable skill, including presentation skills, critical analysis and convincing public debate!
•Students on this programme will have the chance to interview a member of the SPED community to hear their lived experience and reflect on how this experience will shape their own future encounters.
•By the end of the programme students will have delivered their own Neurodiversity Awareness Campaign to either family members, in school, in local youth group or community religious centre.
•Students on this programme will have access to a Mentor who they can reach for support in terms of the following: (i) support with the projects of the programme, (ii) advice regarding higher education application support, & (iii) advice and signposting in regards to supporting their possible own/friends/family member's experience of neurodiversity.
