Achieving disability inclusion in the 'new normal'

17% of UAL students are disabled. Achieving disability inclusion requires a shift from individualised support towards inclusive practices.
Sector-wide, the pandemic has accelerated progress in mainstreaming inclusive teaching. It has also introduced new barriers for disabled students.
This session identifies some examples of inclusive teaching at UAL. It presents feedback from disabled students and course teams, together with the latest sector guidance on disability inclusion.
It asks, as we move into the ‘new normal’
- What inclusive practices might we want to hold onto?
- What might we need to develop further to meet the needs of our disabled students?
