Disability

Improving provision for disabled psychology students

Are you a disabled psychology student or graduate, or do you teach or work with disabled psychology students or graduates? 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 , where you can complete the online form, or download the project leaflet and (e)mail it back to us;

or email (ipdps@psych.york.ac.uk); or post (IPDPS Project, Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD).
