DSA Support for students

Students with neurodiverse conditions, sensory impairments or mobility difficulties can face new challenges at university. As an approved DSA supplier, we can provide support for students including SpLD diagnostic assessments, vision, hearing and mobility support and DSA assistive technology and training. We guide students through their assessments and help them access the support and funding they need via DSA. Fast delivery of assistive technology reduces stress and anxiety, allowing students to focus on their studies and academic progress.

Our higher education and university neurodiversity support services include timely access to SpLD diagnostic assessments for conditions such as dyslexia or dyspraxia. Assessments help students avoid lengthy waiting times and provide clear recommendations, along with the formal evidence required to implement reasonable adjustments and apply for DSA funding, where appropriate. Our consistent, quality approach ensures every student receives the same high standard of assessment, guidance and emotional support.

Students with sensory impairments or mobility difficulties often face additional challenges in higher education. Our DSA support for students includes assessments and tailored solutions for vision, hearing, and mobility needs, helping students access the adjustments they need to study effectively. We guide each student through recommended accommodations and ensure timely provision of any assistive tools or adaptations. Our personalised approach includes access to our knowledgeable experts for any difficult or challenging cases.

As an approved DSA supplier, we provide assistive technology and training that helps students study independently and confidently. Our services cover the full range of assistive technology, from software and specialist equipment to personalised training and guidance. Strong relationships with leading assistive technology suppliers ensure best-value solutions, helping students to get the most from their DSA allowance. Rapid delivery and pre-loaded software reduce stress and anxiety, allowing students to start using their technology straight away.

Our assistive technology tech pool allows students who do not qualify for DSA funding, including overseas students, to borrow equipment quickly, avoiding delays while longer-term solutions are arranged. This flexible service ensures students can continue studying without disruption, while universities benefit from a cost-effective, reliable way to provide essential support. All equipment is delivered through a quality-assured, consistent model, with guidance and support included.

Our DSA support for students includes coaching and study support services that help students with neurodiverse conditions and other disabilities. Sessions focus on executive functioning, time management and study techniques, tailored to each student’s strengths and needs. Students can use their DSA funding for these services, helping them develop practical strategies and build emotional resilience. We can also support students to identify their strengths and self-advocate for themselves as they plan for future employment.

How we provide DSA support for students and you

Client’s praise us for our highly personal service from lovely people who are great to work with. Any DSA assistive technology and training enquiries are dealt with by a named individual, not an inbox.

timely_Icon

Timely

We deliver our assistive technology for students to very tight timeframes. Software installed and ready to go, so students don’t lose any of their training time or get upset by delays.

Compassionate

Instead of leaving neurodiverse students with a 35-page SpLD diagnostic assessmentreport, compassionate aftercare helps them process and understand the findings.

DSA Support

Additional DSA support for students

As well as providing DSA support for students, we can also support your staff, offer mental health services and help you create a neuroinclusive culture.

Support for staff

As well as supporting your students, we provide practical support for university staff. We can carry out workplace needs assessments, advise on low-cost or no-cost reasonable adjustments, advise on Access to Work funding and provide neurodiversity training, assistive technology and awareness workshops. This helps staff remain productive and fully supported to perform their best.

Neuroinclusive cultures

We work closely with universities and colleges to promote inclusive teaching practices and offer neurodiversity workshops and training to support dyslexia, autism, ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions. By fostering an environment where all students can thrive, you can give every student the same chance to succeed, improving student engagement, retention and success.

University of Hull accelerates neurodiversity support

As part of its commitment to inclusion, the University of Hull wanted to ensure neurodivergent students, with conditions ranging from dyslexia to dyscalculia, could access timely support to reduce barriers to learning.
