At least 1 in 8 students are neurodiverse (this includes conditions such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, ASD and Developmental Language Disorders) but not all students arrive at college with a diagnosis or have had previous support for a variety of reasons. This may include moving around the education system (Looked after Young People) and lower recognition of traits in females.
Using online robust tools for screening for neurodiversity and assessing studying skills at induction allows for practical and student-centred support for those who require it in a timely manner.
Interactive apps can also support the student when moving from college into work. The Do-IT Profiler accessible web-based system allows this to happen.

The goal most teachers of adult students have is to help our students become active citizens and to help them understand the society in which they live. How we encounter students’ current knowledge of society varies in the different fields we teach and we meet our students differently according to our different target groups. Also, the ways we approach, and in a classroom setting deal with, the skills required for active citizenship, are as many as there are teachers.

Material development studies for special education students include examples of material applied for special education students in different countries. These materials will cause teachers to see different perspectives in their educational processes. In this way, they will develop different ideas for material samples in educational work.

It looks. Nevertheless, as in the past, Europe, Europe, the people who escaped the war
they must face these situations as a nation and also as a unity to integrate.
