University disability teams are under unprecedented pressure. Demand for neurodivergent support is growing faster than institutions can resource it. This  vendor presentation, by Alex Kerr from Kumo Study, drew on formal university trials and primary research to map compounding barriers facing both students and the teams that support them.

Despite supporting over 98,000 plus students with disability, we know remarkably little about the experiences and needs of disability practitioners in Australian universities.
