ABOUT UNITE

Empowering those who learn differently

LEARN DIFFERENTLY is an umbrella term to define those individuals who are struggling to learn because of their learning differences, such as dyslexia or as a result of other challenges and issues. They may not be formally diagnosed or meet all the criteria of a learning difference, but require additional support to reach their true potential.

The UNITE Conference seeks to bring together researchers, parents, teachers and practitioners working with children who learn differently. Research and practical solutions will be presented in short, engaging and entertaining sessions.

And what’s most exciting – there are several opportunities to hear international and local presenters share on how to make a difference for our students who learn differently.

Dear UNITE TEAM,

Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to the conference. I enjoyed the two inspiring days. It was a privilege to be part of such sharing and rich discussions in breakout sessions, exhibitions, and international forums. I learned many new ideas and thoughts from your team and presenters.

The DAS staff were friendly and helpful.

Dear UNITE TEAM,

Can I tell you that this is by far my favourite UNITE!

I really enjoyed these two days!

Apart from the clearly efficient and smooth coordination, I was struck by how well-balanced the presentations were - a great mix of research papers, inclusive practices and parent sharing.

My heart was touched, and my mind was stimulated by what I heard and the conversations I've had.

Thank you
