Additional Student Support and Inclusion Services Team (ASSIST)

Who is ASSIST?

Our Additional Student Support and Inclusion Services Team (ASSIST) works with students with disabilities to help achieve their full potential and to promote equal opportunities. ASSIST aims to enable students to access all aspects of university life, take control of their learning and develop the skills needed for employment. This is underpinned by a commitment to accessibility and respect for confidentiality.

ASSIST provides support for students with:

• physical impairments
• sensory impairments
• mental health difficulties
• medical conditions, for example epilepsy
• Autistic spectrum disorders
• specific learning difficulties, for example dyslexia

Our team provides a range of services, including support and guidance for dyslexia, autism, epilepsy and other conditions for all new and current students, staff and parents.
