What help is available to disabled students?
If you are dyslexic or suffer from a different kind of disability, and are currently a full time, part time or post graduate student in higher education, then you may be eligible to receive a disabled student allowance, a government grant to cover the extra costs which result from studying with a disability. For more information, visit the Government Direct site, which has info on help for disabled students .The extra funds may be used to purchase computing equipment and digital dictation devices, and in some cases can also be used to acquire transcription services. UKT has unrivalled experience of working with students in receipt of DSA, and can also assist and advise you in preparing for and applying for DSA benefits. Students in receipt of disabled students allowance should contact us for details of special rates and offers on equipment deals. We have a number of graded packages incorporating recording devices, microphones, and inclusive transcription minutes.
