Abstract

This session offered a summary of our research into the transitions of neurodiverse students from Access to level 1 study. This project sought to generate a deep understanding of the experiences of neurodiverse students transitions from Access to level 1 study. Whilst it was initially focused upon student support, through this research numerous challenges these students face have been raised in relation to their transition from the interdisciplinary access modules to often more discipline focused study at level 1, even when it is situated within interdisciplinary modules. The issues the participants raised focused in particular upon changing expectations across disciplines and modules and the complexity of discipline specific language.
