Hi All,

The Disability Service in Trinity College Dublin has set up a new website
for Leaving Certificate and post-Leaving Certificate students at
www.tcd.ie/pathways-to-trinity.   

It believes that a web-based strategy to assist second level students,
parents and other stakeholders with transition planning is critical as it
provides:

    * Pre-entry contact between service providers in College, incoming
students, parents and schools.

    * Positive role models in the form of student 'stories' and realistic
advice on specific courses and expectations.

    * Advice and guidance to ensure successful student progress through the
first year of college.

They have gathered pre-entry information to assist with admissions, access
routes, course choices, advice from students and lecturers, and college
supports relevant to students with a disability.  Whilst some of the
information is relevant to Trinity, much of the advice is generic to any
student applying to any college. 

They are also making their online academic resources available for help with
study skills and exam revision, and have provided some useful suggestions
for assistive technology solutions.  Visitors are also invited to
participate in the discussion forum at

http://pathways-to-trinity.weebly.com.   

They are now seeking your help. Please let them know what other features or
advice you think should be included on this website.

Alison Doyle, Disability Officer, Trinity College Dublin email:
pathways@xxxxxx would appreciate your feedback.
