The fact we both found that quote remarkable really shows how as a society we need to look at the environment around us and not blame disabled people for the lack of accessibility. I really appreciate the example of Selfridges quiet shopping hour- I will look into this further for my intervention.

It’s extremely helpful and encouraging to know you feel the same about support staff having a level of clarity within unstanding individuals needs. Ensuring the students build strong relationships with technical staff to allow for discussion and collboration is a great point and I really appreciate it.
