Hey Guys,
I just have a quick question about the DSA and what support is available.
I have applied for a DSA on the grounds of Dylexia, Dyscalculia and Mental Health Issues.
Because of my Dyslexia i REALLY struggle with organization and remembering to do things which is causes no end of trouble! And so my dad has suggested that we look into buying me a smart phone with andriod capabilities to allow me to sinc my emails and tasks, notes, job lists etc in one place rather than continually having to check my PC or little scraps of paper with notes on! (which I forget to do a lot of the time, or lose!) As i nearly always have my phone on me, it seems like a sensible idea!
My question is, has anyone ever heard of, or been given themselves, funding for a phone rather than a laptop?
Is it worth waiting until my needs assessment and bringing it up with my advisor to see if there is the option to get a phone to help with my organization skills? OR if I buy one, does anyone think there would be the possiblility of it being reimbursed?
Thanks in advance for any help or insight you may give me on the subject!
