Same but
There is no one-size-fits-all for learning.
Some of us may struggle to access learning materials.
Or to communicate what we’ve learned.
That's because we all think, learn and express ourselves differently.
But we can use different tools to achieve the same goals.
The DSA can help.
The Disabled Students’ Allowance helps with the study costs related to a disability, long-term illness or learning difficulty.
Specialist equipment
Such as computers, voice recorders, or ergonomic equipment
Sign language interpreter
For hearing-impaired students
Assistive software
Such as notetaking, planning or mindmapping tools
Yet when we surveyed eligible university students, 32% of them had not heard of the DSA
We reckon it's all in the name.
Many neurodivergent students* don’t realise they are eligible. *Students with conditions that affect how they think and process information
21%
of neurodivergent students
don't consider themselves 'disabled'
This means they are missing out on tools that could support them at university.
55% of neurodivergent students had not applied for support they were entitled to.
We want to change that.
