Brian Irvine <\/strong>who will deliver a talk entitled Mentoring as Reframing – Specialist Autism Mentoring at University.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join Brian for a ramble through the ins and outs of mentoring neurodivergent students in higher education \u2013 and beyond. With over a decade of experience as a Specialist Mentor and a background in participatory research, Brian will share how mentoring can help reshape students’ views of themselves and support their flourishing both academically and personally.<\/p>\n

What You\u2019ll Learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get a better understanding of what Specialist Mentoring is all about for autistic and ADHD university students.<\/li>\n
  2. Discover a new way of thinking about mentoring that could be helpful in different educational settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What We\u2019ll Cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What is Mentoring? <\/strong>– A look at the roots of mentoring from history and mythology to today\u2019s practical applications.<\/li>\n
    2. Support in Higher Education<\/strong> – How the DSA works and the importance of Universal Design in making education a little more accessible.<\/li>\n
    3. Participatory Research<\/strong> – The power of working together with autistic students to ask the right questions and find meaningful answers.<\/li>\n
    4. Mentoring as Reframing<\/strong> – Practical tips on how mentors can help students see their experiences in a new light, focusing on strengths and navigating challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Hopefully, we\u2019ll challenge how we traditionally view mentoring and offer practical tips for anyone working with neurodiverse students in higher education. Come prepared to think differently about support, inclusion, and the power of mutual understanding.<\/p>\n

      The talk is open to everyone and will be recorded. \u00a0There will be time for questions.<\/p>\n
