What is a disability?
Disability and Inclusion Services at NTU supports students with a diverse range of support needs.
People with these conditions often don't consider themselves to have a disability, and therefore do not think that disability support, or disabled students allowance relates to them or is something they can access. The most common reason for students not receiving the support they need at university is that they didn't know that they were entitled to it.
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 & Hearing Impairments
- Physical Mobility & 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 & 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.
