Thriving through COVID-19: Reflections from Tertiary Students with Disability at a National Online Forum 

ADCET’s scoping survey on the impact of COVID on our sector found that while some students struggled with the COVID disruptions, others coped well.   We wanted to know the critical success factors that enabled some students to thrive through the disruptions and on-line learning environments and look at how these might be taught or shared with other students.  

This report reflects the data from a two-hour online forum attended by thirty-two students with disability from across Australia on the 9th December 2020 to explore the question:  What are the critical success factors, for students with disability, for thriving through the COVID-19 period? Students shared success stories, identified enabling factors, articulated hopes for the future, and designed prototypes to deliver ways to do more of what works well.
