Disability & Dyslexia Service
Our dedicated Disability & Dyslexia Service is fully staffed by experienced professionals who cater for a wide range of needs, offering support to students on an individual basis.
The Disability & Dyslexia Service provides advice and support for disabled students including those with a specific learning difference like dyslexia or dyspraxia, and students who might not consider themselves disabled but nevertheless have a condition with affects them. A dedicated Assistant Disability Coordinator co-ordinates support for students with sensory impairments.
Much of the support provided is funded through Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) - something that we discuss with students to see if it is appropriate for them to apply for.
