This article applies to you if you have the recommendation 'adjustments to presentations’ in your Learning Contract. Please note that although Disabled Student Support have made the recommendation based on your disability, it is important you communicate with teaching staff to ensure presentation adjustments can be accommodated within the learning outcomes of the assessment/activity.
There are many adjustments that could be applied to presentations. They could include:
- pre-recording your voice over your presentation, rather than presenting live
- reading from a script you have written
- submitting supplementary notes to be referred to alongside your presentation to help demonstrate your knowledge
If you are uncertain about how to approach your tutor, you can use this email template (adapt as necessary):
