Braille at University (Extra 86)
Tuesday, 13 October, 2026
How might you use braille at university, and what funding is available to help you get it? Join Connor Scott-Gardner to find out! Connor has experience as an advocate, DSA assessor and university student. In this session, he shared: How he used braille in his own studies, and how you might use it in yours Where braille technology works well in a university environment (and where it doesn't) What options are available for transcription, both for hard copy braille and electronic formats for use on braille displays What support is available and who is responsible for providing it Advice on navigating Disabled Students Allowance, and what to ask for at a DSA assessment This will be particularly relevant if you are about to start a university course, but much of the information will still apply if you are part-way through your studies.
