We have students with Autistic Spectrum Conditions, who require one to one support with their higher education studies. Tutors work with an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and act as facilitators to help students develop learning strategies that will improve their study skills and enable them to become independent learners. This specialist support addresses the issues which some students might have in acquiring, recalling and retaining information in written and spoken language as well as the range of memory, organisational, attention and numeracy difficulties that students with ASCs often face when working in an HE context

**Requirements**:

An awareness of the strengths which students on the autism spectrum can bring to a learning situation and the skills to help students to make use of these strengths and overcome barriers to learning.
