Be Part of the Change Episode 7: Supporting Students with SpLDs - with Batul Daulby and Danial Shaikh

UCEM

The built environment comprises a diverse and exciting range of sectors, but there is still a lack of representation at every level. We want this to change.

‘Be Part of the Change’ is an awareness campaign with the purpose of celebrating the incredible success stories of our under-represented students, apprentices and alumni, as well as highlighting their challenges.

It’s also an opportunity to highlight the positive practices our employers are actioning within their organisations to inspire other companies in their approach.

In the seventh episode of our Be Part of the Change podcast, Danial Shaikh, Student Officer for Disability and Mental Health and Apprentice at UCEM, is joined by Batul Daulby, Principal Education Psychologist and Founder of CF Psychology.

The topics discussed in this episode include:

  • The early signs that a student may have an SpLD
  • Where students should go to seek help
  • The common misconceptions of SpLDs
  • How friends and family can support SpLDs
  • Batul's tips for educators and employers
