For other students, learning is made more challenging as a result of a specific learning difficulty or a disability that requires specialist support. If you are one of these people, our team of Study Support staff can offer you Extended Learning Support and confidential guidance.
Difficulties may be associated with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, dyspraxia, sensory impairment, social or emotional difficulties, health problems, mental health problems or mobility difficulties. As well as this, we are able to assist students who qualify for the Disabled Students Allowance with the completion of their application form and advise them on supportive technology. Formal assessments for the DSA are carried out in College.
