With the increasing presence of students with invisible disabilities at universities, professors and staff are facing new challenges. This practical guide provides lecturers, trainers, disability services, and administrative staff with an overview of the invisible disabilities they may encounter, debunking common myths and offering practical advice for supporting the needs of these students.
Students with invisible disabilities are often academically gifted but face challenges in certain aspects of higher education, such as attending appointments or maintaining concentration during lectures. By providing detailed information about a range of disabilities such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and emotional disorders, this book facilitates a better understanding of these students' unique needs as well as their strengths and limitations.
