Students with specific learning difficulties

There are hundreds of students with dyslexia or other specific learning difficulties enrolled on courses at the University of Leicester. There are a number of services available to support students in their studies, and many students with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, use AccessAbility on a regular basis.

If you know that you have a specific learning difficulty and have been assessed, then we would encourage you to contact the AccessAbility team to discuss your support requirements and to find out about the support available to you. Please make an appointment and bring a copy of your assessment report with you.

Through AccessAbility, students with specific learning difficulties can arrange:

• Extra time in exams
• Library support
• One to one study skills advice
• Disabled Students' Allowance applications
• Dyslexia assessments
