Autism East Midlands flexible support services help autistic students during their studies in further and higher education.
Support can be provided from the onset when transitioning onto the course and accessing a new learning environment. This can vary from specialist mentoring to 1-1 specialist sudy skills. Advice and support can be provided to the students and the academic and non-academic staff, to meet individual needs.
How to pay for this support
Our student support service is funded by Disability Student Allowance (DSA).
This must be in place before we can offer our service, unless funding is available from other sources. Specialist mentoring costs £44.75 + £8.95 VAT per hour, and 1-1 specialist Study skills support £44.75 + £8.95 VAT per hour.
As we are funded through DSA, our main aims are to make sure everyone involved with you has an understanding of autism spectrum disorder, and that you’re clear about the work you must do in order to complete your course.
As all students’ needs are different we suggest that you, or a representative, contact us to talk about what support is available and if our service can meet your needs.
How to access our support
Our student support service is usually funded by Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA), although other funding streams may also be accepted. Funding must be in place before we can offer our service, please contact the disability adviser at your place of study for help with applications for funding.
