    ADCET Webinar: Mentoring during the Time of COVID-19

    Over the last few years, a number of universities have implemented specialist peer mentoring programs to support students on the Autism Spectrum with their studies.   While many of us appreciate the positive impact these can have for students on the spectrum, what’s the impact for the mentors?  This webinar draws on the experience of a panel of student mentors from across Australia to explore the personal and potential professional benefits of being a mentor.  Mentors will also share their insights on the impact of COVID-19 on their role and for their mentees, and will offer some suggestions for supporting students on the Autism Spectrum during these times.
