university help

Hi thereI am a mature student and I am from America. I was looking in to attending university next year; however I have learning disabilities, which I would want to take under advisement when choosing a university. Being from America, I do not know anyone from the U.K. and calling University’s is all well and good, but I am more interested in what people who live in the U.K. actually think. So I was wondering if anyone has time, they could possibly recommend a University with a good learning support service. Also, I am interested in studying psychology. Thank-you in advance for your help

With regards to your learning disability, you may be entitled to getting the disability student allowance provided you have medical evidence. I would suggest you look into it. I get the DSA for my mental health and it's really helpful - I get a laptop from them and because of my lack of concentration I get a voice recorder so that if I've missed anything I can refer back to the recordings. There's also softwares provided in the laptop which makes learning more accessible for those who have a disability or mental health condition etc etc. Every university has a department that's dedicated to helping those who have disabilities. I can't really tell you which unis would be good as it is subjective - I think the best thing would be to actually attend open days and have a chat with the departments that deal with disabilities and from there you can make an informed decision. As far as I know, if anyone has any kind of disabilities the university has to accommodate to that individual's needs so that they are in a level playing field with all the other students. Hope this helps, take care.
