Funding in further education?

When I started there, I informed them that I have an eye condition that they have never heard of. I provided evidence, which they said wasn't good enough. I then had to get my GP to write me a letter, which she wasn't happy about.

Their diagnosis of Dyslexia came about because we all had to do screening for Dysexlia. I came back as borderline due to my reading difficulties. They decided then that I was Dyslexic and refused to grant me what it was I needed, claiming I didn't need it. I was then told to see the Education Psychologist to be assessed for Dyslexia. I only went just to get them to shut up, once he wrote and told them no. He wrote in his report that any issues I had were indeed related to my sight impairment. In his opinion, I can't be Dyslexic because my memory and logic are too good. I only failed on the logic test when there were pictures involved. (can't see detail) He said he'd expect that of someone who is sight impaired.

They decided that I shouldn't use a computer, because apparently that's what it says in one of the leaflets produced by RNIB - it says nothing of the sort. In fact, we're encouraged to lead as normal life as possible and many of us find that computers are easier to read than pieces of paper.
