Overview
Assistive Technology (AT) supports students with a broad range of learning difficulties, physical disabilities and/or sensory impairments. These range from high incidence, lower impact disabilities (for example, dyslexia, dyspraxia) through to low incidence, higher impact disabilities (for example, cerebral palsy, autism).
This course is taught by distance learning. You will be able to attend weekly online classes at the same time as other students on the course. These synchronous learning classes will help you collaborate and interact with your fellow learners.
There is also a week of on-campus activity (optional for international students) including learning sessions and a conference where you can meet suppliers, and your fellow students.
