Transitioning to University: Autistic Students Guide is a newly rewritten ADCET resource co-designed with autistic students and researchers to support autistic people throughout their university journey. The guide reflects a neurodiversity-informed approach, recognising autism as a natural form of human diversity and focusing on students' strengths rather than deficits.

Implementing meaningful Disability Action Plans can be challenging. This practical panel explored the full lifecycle of a plan, from consultation and shared ownership to implementation, accountability and long-term impact. Panellists discussed what worked, what didn't and the lessons they learned. The session also considered the implications of new Disability Support Fund (DSF) requirements.
