Session 1: Supporting College Students with SEN (with an emphasis on ASD*, ADHD** and SpLD***)
Identification of students with learning needs
In-class and post-class support for students with ASD, ADHD and SpLD
Note: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)*, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)** and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)***
This session aims at examining the learning experience of mature students with neurodevelopmental disorders (ASD, ADHD and SpLD). This seminar explores the identification of college students with learning needs, as well as the benefit and role of a professional psychoeducational assessment in promoting the learning experiences of the students. This workshop discusses some practical guidelines for support and advancing equal learning opportunities for students with neurodevelopmental disorders in tertiary education institutions, in order to create an inclusive learning and teaching environment.

Session 2: Applying Universal Design (UD) in Instruction and Learning for Learners with SEN
Basic principles of UD
Universal teaching strategies in design and learning for adults with SEN(s)
University campus and classroom are faced with increasing diversity of the student population. Despite having the academic abilities and aptitudes for university programs, students with Special Education Needs (SEN) are often challenged by the way they can access appropriate learning environment and engage with the academic materials meaningfully. University Design (UD) as applied in education is a framework that can help instructors design curriculum and adopt instructional strategies with built-in features that cater for the needs of not only SEN students, but all students. We will review the basic principles of UD and discuss practical strategies instructors can use to design courses and prepare teaching materials that can be effective for all kinds of students.
