Discover how Study Agent helps students make the most of their assistive technology with practical support whenever they need it. This presentation will show how this innovative app guides learners step-by-step through study tasks and the use of recommended AT applications. Available around the clock with guidance that stays up to date, Study Agent offers consistent support between AT training sessions and after they end. We’ll explore how it complements AT training and NMH provision, helps remove avoidable study barriers, and builds learner confidence and independence. Attendees will leave with a clear sense of where it fits within the DSA landscape to enhance student success.

Writing, planning, and communication often place significant demands on executive function, creating barriers for neurodivergent learners and professionals. This session explores how Inspiration 12 acts as a visual bridge between ideas and action, using mind maps and graphic organisers to reduce cognitive load and support organisation, prioritisation, and critical thinking. Attendees will discover practical strategies for transforming nonlinear thinking into structured essays, reports, presentations, and workplace documents. Drawing on principles of cognitive accessibility and inclusive practice, the session demonstrates how visual thinking can build confidence, improve productivity, and enable greater independence across education, employment, and lifelong learning.

Assessment is changing. The growing use of AI is making it harder to be sure written work reflects a student's own understanding. As a result, universities are putting more weight on presentations and viva-style assessments alongside traditional essays, a trend that's only set to continue. For students with disabilities, this shift brings new challenges around preparation, confidence and delivery. In this 20-minute session, we'll demonstrate how Genio Present helps students structure and rehearse their presentations, so they can walk into spoken assessments feeling prepared. Discover why Genio Present is becoming an essential recommendation as assessment formats evolve.
