Being assessed for DSA and need some help?

I've recently been accepted into uni and started preparing everything. I have an anxiety disorder and applied for DSA, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with disability services and being assessed? I'd be really grateful for replies.

Thanks!

It's a totally non-scary assessment, I'd really try not to worry. DSA assessors basically bend over backwards to help you out in any way they can, and they should treat you and your issues very sensitively. :smile:

They'll just talk over your problems and potential solutions, and write a recommendation list of equipment/resources that might help you.

Despite them saying it's an "assessment", it's more like an informal chat. They want to find the best way of supporting you. They're not trying to trip you up. They want to help you in every way they possibly can.
