Hi,
I'm not sure if any one can help, but I've been reading about the great support that students have been getting from their chosen universities.
My son has chosen to do a Computer Science degree at a local university which will allow him to stay living at home.
The only problem is the support the University are offering.
I know his EHCP will end when he goes to University and we must get the DSA submissions done for what he needs, but the Uni is saying in spite of what he is granted by the DSA he will only be provided with:- 1. a laptop with software and a mic 2. A meeting with a Course worker once a week or once a fortnight. 3. A meeting with a mentor once or twice a fortnight.
Even if we get everything we need like a scribe, a note taker, a guide, assistance with private study from the DSA......the university have said that they would not allow outside assistance on to site, let alone into lectures.
I've seen videos of people with guides, mentors, note takers, anxiety coaches, lab assistance, PA's etc at other universities.
Is this possible to get ?
It would be a massive leap to go from 32 hours teaching assistance at school to essentially nothing at university.
He is a very smart cookie but I'm worried he would be overwhelmed.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Andy
