In addition to topics such as raising awareness of the diversity of (non-)visible impairments and providing more confidence in dealing with affected pupils and students, general conditions such as compensation for disadvantages, hardship applications and integration assistance were also covered. Many participants emphasized how helpful it was to be able to discuss these often complex topics directly with the official advice center and ask questions. Content that is often difficult to understand in written form was explained in a practical way.

The exchange between the talent scouts was also perceived as particularly valuable. Among other things, they discussed how impairments can be addressed sensitively without offending or stigmatizing.

A particular highlight of the workshop was the testimonials from two students. A computer science student from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences reported on his journey from accompanied pupil to student. The open and trusting nature of his talent scout was particularly formative for him: "Above all, the open nature of the talent scout meant that I was always able to come by with any issues." After initial difficulties in his first semester, he decided to actively approach people - with great success: among other things, he quickly found a working student job with a lecturer and a student apartment, both with the support of the talent scout and the Studierendenwerk.

A science journalism student at the TU also gave an impressive account of his experiences. As an autistic and neurodivergent student, he had thought several times about dropping out of university. However, the reliable support of a DoBuS advisor was decisive for his future path: "I wanted to give up my studies several times. The support and reliability of an adult contact person was one of the reasons why I was able to continue."

The personal reports were perceived by the participants as emotionally moving and at the same time encouraging for their own work. Overall, both the content and the structure of the workshop met with great interest and were rated as very beneficial.
