For many teachers, it can be challenging to effectively facilitate students with disabilities in the classroom setting. This difficulty does not necessarily stem from a lack of willingness, but often from a lack of awareness and knowledge, and the absence of appropriate tools. Therefore, this event aims at providing teachers with insights and tools to effectively support students with disabilities. Although the primary audience for this event is teachers, the topic can also be relevant for programme directors, study advisors, programme committee and examination board members, policymakers and others.
In collaboration with UvA IDEAS, ECIO and an UvA alumna expert on the subject, the TLC-FMG has created this event to contribute to discussions on studying with a disability and to enable teachers and UvA staff with the tools and knowledge to contribute to a more inclusive learning environment for students with a physical disability.
