Guide to - support and adjustments

Who we are
The Disability Advisory Service at the University of
Reading provides confidential information and advice
to disabled students studying or intending to study
here.
We work with students to meet their individual needs
and make reasonable adjustments to enable them to
participate fully in academic life.
To give some context, there are currently about 1800
students registered with the Disability Advisory Service
who may have a disability or long-term health
condition that has a significant impact on their ability
to study.
However, there are also many more students who
would be eligible for support who haven’t contacted
the service. This may be because they didn’t require
support but will also be because they didn’t know they
were eligible or didn’t want to disclose that they were
struggling.
We offer a confidential advice service to students and
encourage anyone who thinks they may be eligible for
support to get in touch. You will always be in control of
the support and adjustments, and no information
about you is passed on without your consent.
