About the Disability Advisory Service

The Disability Advisory Service (DAS) is made up of a team of specialist advisors who provide information and advice on disability issues, and facilitate access to study for all students. For each college there are two dedicated advisors within the DAS – one for students with mental health disabilities, and one for students with other disabilities, including:

• A sensory or mobility impairment
• A long-term illness or physical health condition
• A specific learning difficulty (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or ADHD
• A social or communication difficulty such as autism spectrum condition.

The next tab (see top of this page 'Providing Evidence') contains detailed information about obtaining and providing formal evidence of your disability which is needed for registration with the DAS.
