Assistive technology (eg, Digital voice recorders, and visually enlarging software, large screens, magnifying sheets, and adaptive keyboards)
-
Adaptations /furniture (eg, appropriate seating, access around campus)

Special arrangements for assessments and exams (eg, extra time, separate room, reader/writer)
-
Practical support (eg, interpreters/communicators, notetakers)

Liaison with community support agencies

Funding for vision, hearing, & for medical assessments
If the support that you require is not listed above, we will do our best to arrange it!
