Our DSA Assessment Centres

Please note: In response to Covid-19, Student Finance England has announced that it is possible for students to access their DSA Needs Assessment remotely. AbilityNet has run video-based online assessments in workplace and education settings for some time and can provide a full service online. Please mention your preference - online or in person - when you book your DSA Needs Assessment.

If you qualify for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) you will require a Needs Assessment which AbilityNet can provide at one of our specialist DSA Centres around the UK. Our experienced team will conduct an assessment with you to identify the specialist support you may require. You can choose the centre closest to your college or university, or use the one nearest your home:
