About
This website was developed specifically to provide tertiary education staff with a simple, one-stop, 'best practice' starting point to support students with invisible learning difficulties in their transition to, and progress through tertiary education.
It is important to note that this website is NOT about asking higher education staff to identify or diagnose student disabilities. While some of the resources focus on students with ASD, the site is more broadly about providing higher education staff with a 'toolbox' of strategies to manage difficult student behaviour.
