Hi,
You can email me off list if you need more info, so not to block the list.
The support register is funded by DSA, the Disability Advisor will put
forward a case for the number of campus hours needed, in proportion to
whether it is part time or full time.
I hope this is of help.
P.S. It was good bumping into Jackie!! Sorry Jackie! <smiles>

Hi Eleanor,
Apologies for butting in on your conversation with Jackie, but what you want
to ask of your University is whether they have a Disability Service within
the University. If they do, they should be able to set up a Student Support
Plan (SSP) with you. They can either conduct an assessment at the University
or by telephone to discuss your needs.
John.

Well that is very interesting Jackie. I did have such an assistant but at
GNVQ level and not under Graduate level. Thanks for your reply.
