DISABLED STUDENTS' ALLOWANCE

What is DSA?

Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) can help students with dyslexia, ADHD and other learning differences to access support at university. It is not means-tested and does not usually need to be repaid.

What DSA may help with

DSA may help fund specialist software, assistive technology training, study skills support, mentoring, equipment and extra study-related costs.

How to apply

  • Check eligibility
  • Gather evidence of learning disability
  • Apply through Student Finance
  • Wait for approval to book a Study Needs Assessment (can be remote or in-person)
  • Attend the Study Needs Assessment
  • Receive a report recommending support
  • Arrange the agreed support

Evidence

A dyslexia assessment report will show whether dyslexia is present, how reading, writing, spelling or processing skills are affected, what support may be helpful, and what reasonable adjustments may be needed.

When should I apply?

Apply as early as possible. You do not have to wait until problems become serious.

Can I help?

I provide dyslexia assessments for students who need evidence for university support, DSA, exam arrangements and study planning.
