Our Research
Who can take part: Faculty & TAs currently teaching at colleges or universities are welcome to participate in this research. We will limit our participants to 90 faculty members.
What: This research principally aims to improve university staff’s knowledge and attitudes towards autism and of Universal Design via an online training programme. The training has been developed using participatory methods, with Autistic people involved in all aspects of its development and the research. There are pre & post questionnaires, an online training portion, and a maintenance questionnaire 1 month later.
Where: All components of this research are conducted online.
Time: Questionnaires take approximately 20 minutes to complete and the online training takes approximately 1.5 hours
Why: The two objectives of the training itself are to train university staff to first better understand, teach and support Autistic students and to train staff to understand how they can use Universal Design (UD) to help all students learn.
