The University's Specialist Peer Mentoring Program (Speerment) connects mentees (students on the Autism Spectrum) with peer mentors (current students). Mentors assist the mentees for an hour, on a weekly basis and help with time management, organisation and keeping on track with assessment tasks. Trust, patience, acceptance and belief underpin this model of support. Mutual learning takes place with the Mentee’s benefiting from their peer’s expertise as students, and the Mentors learning from their Mentees.
