Disability support
Welcome to Disability Services
Disability Advisers work alongside you to identify how your disability or condition impacts your teaching, learning, assessment and access to physical and digital resources, and to help coordinate support and adjustments.
Disability Services work with students who have a disability or condition which impacts on their study. This includes students or applicants who have:
- Specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia
- Ongoing mental health difficulties
- Long-term medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer, Crohn's disease
- Social communication difficulties such as autism
- ADHD
- Physical or mobility difficulties
- Hearing impairments or hearing loss
- Visual impairments
