Supporting you in presentations
Students who have a stammer or stutter can often find presenting to a large group of people unmanageable.
Disability Advisers within Student Wellbeing might be able to
- Write a Study Needs Agreement which can identify adjustments such as presenting only to a small group of people
- Inform the teaching team of ways they can support you
- Arrange for Specialist Tuition for a limited period of time to develop strategies to enable you to manage your anxieties
- Discuss possible modes of support to enable you to reach your potential and demonstrate your knowledge in a way that suits you
Adjustments are dependent on the nature of your course and the University must ensure that all core learning and professional body requirements are met by all students.
