Don’t take away support disabled students rely on at university
Hello,
As a student who has relied — and continues to rely — on assistive technology funded through DSA (Disabled Students’ Allowance) to complete academic work, I am deeply saddened to hear about proposals to limit support to “exceptional circumstances” only for future students.
Without access to assistive technology through DSA, university would be far more difficult for me and for so many others. These tools are not luxuries — they are essential in helping disabled students access education, work independently, and achieve their full potential.
Restricting DSA support risks creating even greater barriers for students who already face challenges in higher education. Accessibility and inclusion should be strengthened, not reduced. Every student deserves an equal opportunity to succeed.
