Guide for Studying Abroad

This web guide developed by AHEAD is intended to help students with disabilities prepare for an international study-abroad opportunity. It covers lots of practical things for students to consider in advance of their study abroad including choosing where to study, seeking funding, getting disability supports, preparing for living abroad and more. You can send students who are considering a study abroad opportunity the link to this guide to give them the best chance of having a successful Erasmus experience.

About the Road Map for Inclusion

'Inclusive Learning and the Provision of Reasonable Accommodations to Students with Disabilities in Higher Education in Ireland' is part of a series of outputs produced by the Association for Higher Education Access and Disability (AHEAD), in collaboration with the Disability Advisers Working Network (DAWN). It brings together two years of research on the inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education and concludes that an inclusive approach based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles would provide an effective framework to include and improve the retention of, not only students with disabilities, but a diverse range of students including migrants, mature students, international students, and students from different socio-economic backgrounds.

The values underpinning the Road Map series are explained in the following video:
