What are specialist study skills support for SpLDs such as dyslexia?

Specialist study skills support for SpLD (Specific Learning Differences) is individualised academic coaching for students with dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, or dyscalculia. It includes personalised learning strategies, time management techniques, note-taking methods, essay writing support, exam preparation, and assistive technology guidance tailored to each student's unique learning profile.

What is the difference between study skills support and mentoring for Autism and ADHD?

Study skills support for autism and ADHD focuses specifically on academic strategies like executive function development, task management, and study techniques. Specialist mentoring for ASC is more comprehensive, covering academic skills plus transition support, social navigation, communication with services, wellbeing management, and overall university life guidance.

Can specialist study skills support be funded through DSA or Access to Work?

Yes, specialist study skills support and mentoring can often be funded through the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) for eligible students in higher education, or through Access to Work for those in employment who are also studying. Contact your university's disability services or the relevant funding body for guidance on eligibility and application.
