Whether you are a higher education student or from a local authority looking to book a DSA assessment on behalf of a student we can help, as well as being on hand to assist with training to use assistive equipment and software.
We have excellent facilities, both at the Open University Centre and on the OU Access Bus, and we can turn around DSA assessments in between four to six weeks.
Staff at the OU Access Centre provide specialist, unbiased advice to local authorities booking a needs assessment on behalf of any student, not just Open University students.
As a member of the National Network of Assessment Centres (NNAC), the OU Access Centre can offer up-to-date information on types of assistive technology, personal assistance and study strategies.
Our experienced assessors have considerable knowledge of a range of assistive technologies.
Local authorities can arrange a needs assessment through the OU Access Centre by calling 01908 858329.
If you would like to book an appointment, please complete this form (DOC, 45KB) and email it to or contact our professional team today, by calling 01908 858329.
