Universities & Students

University can be both an exciting and overwhelming time, especially for neurodiverse students. New routines, less structure, sensory-rich environments, and high academic and social expectations can create significant challenges. 

​

ASM works with universities to make campus life more navigable and supportive for students with profiles such as ADHD, autism (including AuDHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia, and more. Our approach is dual: we support students directly through mentoring and group programs, and we equip staff and faculty with training to foster an inclusive educational environment.

 

What it is

Support for universities to help students settle in, stay well, and succeed. We work in two ways:

• Direct support for students 

• Practical training and advice for staff

 

Who it’s for

A good fit if you want to support students with autism, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and other neurodivergent profiles, especially during high-pressure points such as transition, assessment periods, and placement or career planning.

 

What we offer

• Student mentoring groups (online)
  Small, structured groups to build routines, confidence, and practical study strategies.

• One-to-one support (online or on campus)
  Bookable sessions for timely help with workload, communication, and navigating support.

• Student workshops
  Clear, practical sessions on topics like managing workload, reducing overwhelm, and planning for exams and deadlines.

• Staff training
  Practical guidance for tutors, lecturers, and support teams on inclusive teaching, communication, and day-to-day adjustments.

• Consultancy for student services
  Review of processes such as adjustments, referral routes, and communications, with clear recommendations.

 

What to expect

• A clear scope agreed at the start

• Delivery online, on campus, or blended

• Sessions and materials in clear language, designed to be accessible

• A joined-up approach that complements what you already offer

 

Outcomes (what often changes)

Universities often see:

• Better student wellbeing and retention

• Fewer issues escalating because support happens earlier

• Stronger study habits and improved confidence

• Staff who feel more confident supporting neurodivergent students

• More consistent, neuroinclusive practice across departments
