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

“Working with AS Mentoring on our Neuropathways programme has been a fantastic experience. Their expertise has been instrumental in helping us to design and deliver a successful programme to support our autistic graduates as they transition from university into their next steps.

Charlotte and Georgia have brought a collaborative and flexible approach throughout. They have consistently worked alongside us to solve challenges, develop innovative ways of engaging students, and ensuring that the programme meets their needs. Their knowledge, responsiveness and commitment has been invaluable as we have developed this work.

Feedback from members of the programme has been overwhelmingly positive, and it is clear to see the significant impact it has had on their confidence and preparedness for life after university. We look forward to continuing our partnership with AS Mentoring as Neuropathways develops.”

“Being part of the group has helped me hugely to manage the difficult transition from university into the workplace. The peer support has reminded me I'm not alone, and we are able to celebrate each others wins and offer first-hand support with problems. The workshop facilitators are brilliant at starting thought-provoking conversations alongside practical advice on applications, adjustments and workplace rights. I now feel more confident, informed and adjusted, and I would really recommend the group to neurodivergent students!”
