17% of UAL students are disabled. Achieving disability inclusion requires a shift from individualised support towards inclusive practices.
Sector-wide, the pandemic has accelerated progress in mainstreaming inclusive teaching. It has also introduced new barriers for disabled students.
This session identifies some examples of inclusive teaching at UAL. It presents feedback from disabled students and course teams, together with the latest sector guidance on disability inclusion.
