Autism and Neurodiveristy for Higher Education
UMO has a decade of experience providing specialist mentoring for students with autism, ADHD or neurodiverse challenges.
UMO’s Specialist Autism, ADHD and Neurodiversity mentors help to guide, develop and recognise the student’s abilities so they are able to achieve their potential at university.
Our experienced Specialist Mentors have a detailed understanding of the needs of students with Autism, ADHD and Neurodiversity.
The Specialist Mentor supports the student to make the transition to university, obtaining a sense of belonging within the university environment, develop skills to help with social interaction, understand the norms of the university, access services and learn to advocate for themselves.
In identifying these barriers, the Specialist Mentor works with the student to implement strategies that allows them to better manage their emotional state and wellbeing, separate out experiences that are personal rather than specific to their university, improve time and workload management, and overall improve the university and social experience.
