University pathways
Support doesn't stop at 18. Our university programme helps students with SEN needs to settle in, build resilience and reach their potential in higher education.
SEN support in higher education
University brings new freedoms and new challenges. For students with SEN needs, having the right support in place can make the difference between struggling and thriving. Our university programme is designed around the individual student and their specific needs.
Designed for university students who need more
Our university programme supports students with a range of SEN needs as they navigate higher education — from settling in during freshers' week through to dissertation support.
All support aligns with DSA (Disabled Students' Allowance) requirements where applicable and is delivered by practitioners with specialist SEN experience.
