Hello,
I've been diagnosed with ASD, depression and severe anxiety. These are the adjustments that I can get at the uni of Sheffield and I know other people with them just for mental health or in the middle of the diagnosis process, and they have very similar you just need to be able to give reasons why this will benefit you specifically also if I have any challenges that haven't been thought about I can make adjustments at any time

Then from DSA I was also allowed
2 hours of a therapist
2 hours ASD mentoring per week which is like study skills and coping with chage etc
A printer for free and £186 for ink and paper but they pack this back rather than giving this to you. (I was eligable for a laptop but didn't need one)
Glean which allows you to record the lectures and make notes whilst recording, adding slides, edit them and many more
I was also sent a free microphone with this because of how large the lecture theatres are
Scholarly which you put in an article and then it summarises it for you and seperates the categories
global tasks which is an organised to do list online programme but you can hade tasks and edit it in cool other ways so really useful
pro study which collects all the different articles for different projects and organises them and then does the referencing for you writing helper which structures the essay and explains what question words mean as well as telling you if you have any plagarism in it and making sure all the targets are done
grammarly premium which helps with the tone of the writing which was really helpful (I think this is the only one that isn't on the list for mental health)
claro read which adds tints to the screen etc and reads out all the text as well as being able to speak to it and it will type for you and it also has other PDF features
brain in hand which is a app designed for autistic people for routine and having a set bank of solutions when things go wrong but is given for other mental health conditions
