Make personal restrictions recognizable

“People who know how to behave properly will do so.” Inspired by this quote from Bo Hejlskov Elvèn, the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences and the ZWT are co-hosting an information session on the topic:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and College Life
on Thursday, May 17, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Building Z IV b (Room 1.01)

The event (presentation and discussion) focuses on students who, due to their personality traits, require the attention of professors and staff regarding special teaching and learning arrangements as well as the design of examination components.
Personal limitations—such as those caused by autism—are often not recognizable or assessable by instructors, examiners, and staff members in advisory roles. To ensure that these students can also study “barrier-free,” they require adequate conditions to do so. The Saxon Higher Education Freedom Act, as well as the Study and Examination Regulations for the degree programmes, provide for the use of reasonable adjustments to compensate for disadvantages.

This presentation will cover:

• What is autism?
• Neuropsychological explanatory models
• Support and reasonable adjustment
• Learning characteristics

Lecturer: Michael Knothe
ASS Specialist Advisor
State Office for Schools and Education, Bautzen

This event is open to all members of the university, particularly those in leadership roles on university committees, as well as students.
