SPLD - supporting your young adult for A Levels, university and beyond

This is the second of two informative talks for parents and guardians of neurodiverse students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SPLD) embarking on the exciting pathways to university and beyond.

The talk will offer some essential guidance for preparing your young adult child for university (level 4-7) and beyond to PhD research studying (level 9).

Parents and guardians will be guided through:

  1. Diagnostic assessments

  2. Grant funding

  3. How to enhance young adults’ self-development, build their emotional resilience/intelligence to manage their dyslexia/SpLD and the demands level 3-7 courses present.

The talks’ ultimate objectives are to inform and guide you to support your teen through transitioning into further and higher education. We will present information in a presentation format and there will be plenty of opportunities to answer questions.
