Support for Students with AS/asd

There are a number of services available to support students in their studies, and many students with Asperger syndrome / autism spectrum condition (AS/autism spectrum) use the AccessAbility Centre on a regular basis.

If you know that you have AS/autism spectrum then please come into the AccessAbility Centre to discuss your support requirements and to find out about the support available to you.

Please make an appointment and if possible bring a copy of a document that states you have AS/autism spectrum.  This could be a doctor’s letter, a copy of your original diagnosis letter or a section from your Statement of Educational Need paperwork.  If you have a specific learning difficulty such as Dyslexia or Dyspraxia you can have support for these too.

Through the AccessAbility Centre, students with AS/autism spectrum can arrange:

• Disabled Students' Allowance applications
• Examination access arrangements
• One to one study skills advice for Dyslexic type difficulties
• Dyslexia assessments
• Library support
