Enabling Transitions

Students with disabilities account for 12.4% of all new entrants to higher education nationally. Transition readiness is a critical factor in ensuring successful access, progression and success in higher education for students with disabilities.

There are two distinct strands of work in this work stream; Assistive Technology (AT) outreach training initiatives and a Transition Support Programme for students who identify as being on the autism spectrum.

PROJECT INITIATIVES – TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAMME

Based in MTU Cork Campus, the aim of the programme is to support the transition needs of neurodiverse students by showcasing a universal design approach.
