DSA could help you by providing funding or access to assistance across a range of areas.  Below is just a selection of what you might be able to get help with:

• A financial contribution towards a computer or assistive software
• Weekly sessions with a mentor to assist with stress management and prioritisation of academic work
• A way to audio record the lectures and seminars to ensure you have all the information
• Travel allowance to enable quick travel home when necessary, or to enable you to attend University during periods of illness
• Advice and guidance on how to adjust resources to suit your learning needs
• Ergonomic equipment such as an adapted mouse or keyboard
• A supportive chair to reduce pain when sitting and studying for long periods of time
• Support in the library to enable you to access books and photocopy or print
• A note taker if appropriate to ensure you have a full set of notes from lectures
• Voice recognition software to allow you to type your assignments without needing to use a keyboard

The support package you receive through DSA is based on your particular needs and course requirements, so is tailor made for you.  Find out more by visiting our DSA pages on the the YSJ website.
