This presentation gives details about a research project conducted at a regional university in Australia about how to better support university students with dyslexia. The study included a validated self-report survey (used for recruitment), student interviews and a focus group made up of staff from the university. It concludes that identification of students with dyslexia is an extremely complex issue, and the best way to support these students and other at-risk learners is to adopt principles of Universal Design. The presentation includes specific recommendations for following these principles. When: Monday 21 October 2019,  1 - 2 pm (AEDT)
