Hello all!
So nice to find a forum for people like me. Will be applying this year for 2012 entry, having left uni in 2005 with a completely unrelated degree. Since then I have worked with aduts with learning disabilities in a variety of settings, most recently with respite, and have worked alongside SLT's to develop communication passports, objects of reference programmes, pretty fluen t (if thats the right word!) in Sign-along and am the Inclusive Communication Co-ordinator for my workplace.
My main concern is that my original A-Levels weren't up to the grades, though I've been told by admissions tutors that my 2:1 I have obtained since outguns that anyway, s long as I do recent study so I have just completed a History A-Level (and am currently feeling the same anxiety on the lead up to results day i felt 10 years ago!) But my experience is quite limited to one area obviously, does anyone have any tips on any other areas I could look at. I've already tried the Stroke Association, Mencap and NHS to no avail! Also, people have said they have looked at the recommended reading lists but I can't find any information about these!
Will be applying to Marjon, UWIC, City and UCL. Padding out my chances!
