We pride ourselves on caring about the needs of the individual (you) and acknowledging your emotional wellbeing as our client when working together. Emotional matters with relation to your disability will impact on your health and academic performance (a vicious circle begins). Support should be a trusted friendly working partnership and not that of a student-to–teacher approach.
