Learning Support for Learners with Disabilities

Learning support for learners with disabilities

Here at Griffith College, we are committed to maintaining a supportive, inclusive environment within which students can reach their educational potential.

The Learning Support office works with students and staff to promote a positive and successful learning experience for learners with disabilities and specific learning difficulties.

A range of supports are available including:

• needs assessment – a confidential meeting to assess learning needs and the learner’s accompanying documentation in order to agree the appropriate supports that may be required
  
   
• reasonable accommodations – this aims to remove the impact of a disability within the learning environment, so that learners can demonstrate their full level of academic potential. Examples include: spelling and grammar waiver, additional time, scribe and reader support and low distraction venues during examinations
  
   
• invitations to key skills workshops – topics include time management, planning for success in assessments and exam revision techniques
  
   
• one to one support meetings.
  
   

Please note: early disclosure of disabilities (ideally at admission stage) is vital to allow for the necessary supports to be agreed and put in place from the beginning of the learning journey. The Learning Support office operates from Monday – Wednesday throughout the academic year.
