Disabled Students

People on the spectrum of disability may experience varied challenges during their time at the university. If you have a disability and feel as though you require support, here are some options you could consider:

Support at the LSE

The Disability and Mental Health Service offers confidential advice and support to all disabled students. This includes support for students with physical impairments, long-term health conditions, mental health conditions, specific learning difficulties, and autistic spectrum conditions. Additionally, you can learn more about central exam adjustments and my adjustments by clicking the links. You can also access dedicated career support for disabled students. You can also find an Accessibility Guide to campus here. 

Support at the LSESU 

The Neurodiversity and Disability (ND&D) Officer provides a genuine understanding of the complexities of Neurodiversity and Disability. They listen to and voice the concerns and experiences of neurodivergent and disabled students on campus, seeking to build a community at LSE where ND&D students can thrive.
