Diversity and Ability is an award-winning disabled-led social enterprise, providing support to students in Higher Education and people in the workplace. We provide enabling strategies, Assistive Technology (AT) training, SpLD 1:1 support, mentoring and shared wellbeing. We are convinced that peer-to-peer empathy, respect and support, delivered by trainers who share a lived experience with trainees, will fundamentally change the way the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) is taken up and perceived. If used and accessed well, DSA has the potential to make life-changing differences for learners accessing higher education. We’re excited to share that difference with you! D&A promotes a social model of disability where dyslexia and other learning difficulties are perceived as arising from a natural human diversity, as opposed to ‘deficit’ models of understanding disability. We envisage a change that would see ‘Specific learning difficulty’ (SpLD) to change and become ‘Specific Learning Difference’. The celebration and acceptance of different learning styles and the important contributions this neurodiversity continually makes in society remain core to our vision and goal. Working to change attitudes through positive campaigns and ongoing support is a lynchpin in the delivery and success of the training and support we provide.
