Disability and Wellbeing
Starting university can be a daunting experience for anybody, and if you have additional learning needs you will want to make sure that you will have access to the right support for you.
Here at the University of Suffolk, we aim to create an inclusive learning environment that makes teaching accessible for all. However, we understand that one size does not always fit all, and therefore have a team of staff who are dedicated to ensuring that bespoke support arrangements are in place where needed.
The Disability and Wellbeing team sits within students services, and aims to support students throughout their university experience. The team is made up of disability and mental health advisers, disability and wellbeing advisers, specialist assessors and a pool of specialist support staff.
They can help with:
- Advice and support in applying for Disabled Students' Allowances
- Implementation of individual reasonable adjustments
- Arrangement of tailored support including non-medical help (e.g. note-taking, study assistance and/or mentoring)
- Diagnostic assessment for Specific Learning Differences
- One-to-one study skills tuition
- Advice on equipment and access
- Arrangement of examination concessions
- Liaison with academic and other University staff and external agencies
- Arrangement of other specialist support
