AMOSSHE’s response to a consultation about assistive technology funding
The consultation sought opinions on its proposals to transition to a funding model, which assumed free assistive software would meet the needs of disabled students.
As we represent professionals who design, manage and implement support for disabled students in higher education, we sought the views of our members during various feedback sessions. Our members have on-the-ground expertise, and our response provides a perspective that will add to the sector's collective knowledge. The response highlights the many gaps in the proposals and the potential detrimental impact the proposed changes might have on disabled students’ experience of higher education.
It was important for us to submit a response as our vision is to provide an environment where all our members feel they can share their expertise to impact the development and success of higher education.
