Presentation
This session will discuss an approach to enabling and embedding reasonable adjustments for PGR students. It will describe the holistic approach to developing PGR-specific guidance, the groups engaged in that process, and ways to embed awareness and implementation of adjustments. We will discuss some of the key questions, topics, and challenges that arise when developing dedicated policy or guidance statements, as well as examples of adjustments at important points in the PGR student journey.
