Support for students with a disability

As a student with a disability there is a huge variety of services and support available to you.

Disabilities can include:

  • mental health condition, for example anxiety or depression
  • physical disability, for example if you have to use crutches, a wheelchair or a special keyboard
  • sensory disability, for example if you’re visually impaired, deaf or have a hearing impairment
  • long-term health condition, for example cancer, chronic heart disease or HIV
  • specific learning difficulty, for example dyslexia or ADHD

Below you'll find information about those services and how you can access them during your time at Liverpool John Moores University.

Discover how we ensure Accessibility around LJMU for every visitor.
