To access support through the Accessible Learning Support Service, we encourage you to submit supporting documentation that outlines your disability or health condition alongside the disability services questionnaire.
What supporting documentation may look like:
For attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, medical or health conditions, visual or hearing impairments, mental health difficulties and mobility difficulties a letter or medical report from, depending on the nature of the condition, a general practitioner, medical consultant or clinical psychologist is required. It would be helpful if the letter or report clearly outlined:
- The name of the condition and its associated symptoms.
- When the condition was diagnosed.
- The implications of the condition on everyday life e.g. the effect it has on day-to-day activities; the effect it has, or can be expected to have on academic studies.
- If the condition, due it its nature can fluctuate i.e. flare up or become worse at times.
- How the condition is being treated or managed.
- If there are any side effects of medication.
For Specific Learning Difficulties (e.g. Dyslexia, dyscalculia) a full diagnostic assessment report, from a Chartered Psychologist or Specialist Teacher who holds a current practising certificate in Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) Assessment is required.
If you are uncertain whether you have enough supporting documentation or a confirmed diagnosis, we encourage you to contact us for a discussion by sending an email to accessiblelearning@qub.ac.uk. Our team is available to explore potential support options that are customised to your specific needs.
