What is a disability?
Disability and Inclusion Services at NTU supports students with a diverse range of support needs.
The most common reason for students not receiving the support they need at university is that they didn't know they were entitled to it.
"Disability" is a word that a lot of students with diagnosed conditions don't relate to, and therefore don't think that disability support or Disabled Students' Allowance is something they can access.
Disability and Inclusion Services at NTU supports students with a diverse range of support needs:
- Long-term health conditions - anything from Ankylosing spondylitis to Vertigo,
- Visual and hearing Impairments,
- Physical mobility and access needs,
- ADHD,
- Specific learning differences such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and Tourettes,
- Mental health conditions - a broad spectrum of diagnoses from Anxiety to personality disorders,
- Autism and Autism Spectrum conditions.
Some students come to university having had these conditions their whole life, some have had a more recent diagnosis, and some come to university with no diagnosis. Every situation is unique.
