***********************************************
Nine guides for staff supporting disabled students and one for disabled
students 

Colleagues may find the set of 10 guides published by the Geography
Discipline Network under our Inclusive Curriculum Project (ICP) of interest.

The ICP Guide series is written primarily for academics, educational
developers, learning support staff and disability advisors supporting
disabled students studying geography, earth and environmental sciences in
higher education. The project builds on the success of an earlier
HEFCE-funded GDN disability project, Providing Learning Support for Disabled
Students Undertaking Fieldwork and Related Activities. In addition, the ICP
series includes a completely new guide aimed at helping disabled students
themselves to optimise their experience of higher education: To a Degree, A
Guide for Students of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences with
Specific Learning Difficulties, Long-term Medical Conditions or Impairments.
The project was funded by HEFCE's Improving Provision for Disabled Students
programme.  Copies may be downloaded from the GDN site
(http://www2.glos.ac.uk/gdn/icp/).  We regret that we are unable to supply
hard copies.

We hope you will find the set useful in supporting disabled students make
the most of their learning experiences in higher education.
Best wishes
