Induction of students into the programme or into the discipline

"I remember when I first arrived. Being in a hearing environment, it is very difficult."

What measures do you take to induct students, including those with disclosed needs, into your department or discipline?
Does your student induction extend to cover the variety of teaching and learning settings and methods used on your programme(s), such as placements and practicals?
Where students have impairments, which create a need for the use of equipment or educational support worker, are you able to offer additional assistance with induction into the range of teaching settings and methods used?
What procedure does your department have for informing staff involved with induction in advance about the disclosed needs of students likely to require additional help?
