What is a Disability?

Disability can mean different things to different people. By the term ‘disabled students’ we mean any student with:

  • Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia,
  • Mental health difficulties,
  • Autism,
  • A long term health condition,
  • A physical or sensory impairment.

Even if you don’t think of yourself as a disabled person you may be entitled to protection under the law (Equality Act 2010) and support from the University.
