Improving provision for disabled psychology students
Do you teach or work with disabled psychology students or graduates, or are
you a disabled psychology student or graduate yourself? If so, the
Improving Provision for Disabled Psychology Students (IPDPS) project would
like to hear from you.
This two-year, HEFCE-funded project aims to develop evidence-based reports
and guides to help university psychology departments provide a better
teaching and learning experience for disabled psychology students, and to
help these students in decision making concerning the study of psychology.
To assess the needs of potential and current disabled psychology students,
and the issues faced by departments, the IPDPS project is conducting a
number of confidential surveys, focus groups and interviews with disabled
psychology students and graduates, and those who teach and support them.
We will shortly be sending all university disability services and
psychology departments, relevant disability organisations, and psychology
professional associations, more publicity and information about the
project, and we hope staff in these areas will help us recruit students, as
well as tell us about their own experiences.
If you’re interested in participating in the research, can help us
publicise it, or just want to be kept informed, please contact us via:
• the project website (http://ltsnpsy.york.ac.uk/ipdps), where you
can complete the online form, or download the project leaflet and (e)mail
it back to us;
• phone (01904 433188), fax (01904 433181), or email
