DSA Software

The Disabled Students Allowance (DSA), established in 1993, offers Government funding for UK students enrolled on full and part time higher education (HE) courses. The funding is for books, Assistive Technology (AT) hardware and specialist software, all of which are designed to support, empower and enable disabled students to flourish in their learning. DnA celebrates the vision behind this and brings it to life by providing AT training and strategy support on a number of different software packages provided by the DSA.
