SpLD HEAR Group

Medical student Aimee Gregory with the latest update on an exciting student-led project. 

As part of our new HEAR project, the six of us have been very keen to pull together and share our ideas with regards to specific learning difficulties. We are all very enthusiastic to create a society for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) as this would be an excellent platform to raise awareness of our potential ideas for the future e.g. workshops! As students ourselves, we each have challenges that we face at University, and we collectively felt that it would be a great idea to tackle some of the issues faced by University students who may have an SpLD. These ideas included learning workshops, study strategies, creating video links, and even a potential buddy scheme! We aim to raise more awareness and understanding of what is meant by a specific learning difficulty, and how to adapt studying to suit individual learning needs.
