Talkback
Transitions work with young autistic people and other learning disabilities. So, we help make the important transitions in each stage of their life. As well as dealing with anxieties and life’s challenges. Because they can often be overwhelming.
Alternative Learning is for people who, for any reason, feel unable to study within the standard college setting. Because we understand college is not for everyone. So making provisions to ensure those who do not attend college can still develop their life skills is a key part of what we do.

Higher Education Access for All: Understanding the Disabled Students’ Allowance
University is a challenge for anyone – but when you have a disability, it becomes all the more tricky to traverse the pitfalls of life on campus. Often, at the forefront of these worries is finding the money to be able to fund day-to-day living expenses, the cost of accommodation, and your lifestyle.
Thankfully, more is being done to account for the financial needs of students with accessibility requirements than ever before. Increasing levels of funding are being given to students, with the chief amongst those being the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).
Introduced in 1993, the DSA gives someone in higher education a small bursary to help support them financially through their time at university. But how much can they expect to receive? And who qualifies? There are lots of ifs, ands, or buts regarding the allowance. That’s why we’ve compiled this handy guide discussing all aspects of the DSA, and what they mean for you.
Read on to discover how much you might be able to claim, as well as how to, if you’re a student with a disability.
