That's very specific. You'd be better off asking your DSA advisor about this.

It depends on your needs, but its unlikely ypu will get an ipad and an apple pen and a laptop unless your course requires both which will be unlikely. Also about all the car things im not sure, again it depends on your circumstances but i think its fairly unlikely as DSA is about supporting your learning by providing things to help you with uni or access uni that your disabilities may benefit that would be extra costs if you didnt have your illness (some people get taxi money for example if they dont drive and their disability prevents them using public transport, but i imagine they wouldnt provide things if you already drive but could be wrong as this would be a cost youd have anyway)

But your assessor will discuss with you what you need, and providing they offer them and you have a valid reason for needing them you might get them
