We are all of us unique, and face challenges to our productivity and ability to work throughout our lives.

Do you, one of your friends, or one of the students you support have learning difficulties or other disabilities that affect productivity? Would you like to know more about what sort of challenges students can face, so that you can recognize when you, or those around you may need some additional support?

Raising your awareness of these issues can help you give feedback and support to those around you in a more considered way, and help you avoid causing unintended distress to those whose self confidence may already be very low.
