I’m currently receiving DSA support for my medical condition, my dyslexia and dyspraxia.” 00:19 - 00:21 Background Music 00:22 - 01:34 “I definitely wish I had know how much support there was actually available for disabled students. I was so worried about so many different things that the DSA team have actually been able to assist me with, help me with and that I’ve been able to overcome and that I’ve just been able to deal with a lot easier. Things such as travelling to uni, I was so, so worried about having to travel to uni three times a week. I have to be getting two buses and a train and the DSA team have actually managed to get me a taxi that goes directly from my house to uni and it’s just a weight off my shoulders. I can concentrate on my work and my uni life within uni and not have to worry about being tired from travelling or being in pain from travelling so that’s been an incredible help. They’ve also helped me a lot with my dyslexia. I actually managed to get diagnosed through the university because I noticed I had a lot of difficulties that hadn’t really been picked up in school, so I had the diagnostic test and it said I was dyslexic and now I get a lot of extra support within lessons, within my exams and within my practical assessments, so that has been an amazing support as well. 01:35 - 01:40 Background Music
