How might you use braille at university, and what funding is available to help you get it? Join Connor Scott-Gardner to find out!
Connor has experience as an advocate, DSA assessor and university student. In this session, he shared:
- How he used braille in his own studies, and how you might use it in yours
- Where braille technology works well in a university environment (and where it doesn’t)
- What options are available for transcription, both for hard copy braille and electronic formats for use on braille displays
- What support is available and who is responsible for providing it
- Advice on navigating Disabled Students Allowance, and what to ask for at a DSA assessment
This will be particularly relevant if you are about to start a university course, but much of the information will still apply if you are part-way through your studies.
