Education, employment and training
University
If your young person decides to go to university, there is a wide range of support for students with SEND. Universities must make “reasonable adjustments” to help students access their education.
Examples include:
- extra time in exams
- specialist equipment
- support workers or note‑takers
- changes to accommodation or study spaces
