The Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) is support for students studying at Higher Education level to help with any additional study-related costs incurred due to a disability. It includes support for dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADHD and does not need to be paid back.

This is the first time you will have the opportunity to hear the outcome from an independent exploration of how Lili Lamp can improve students’ experiences of reading in an English specialist dyslexia school. The study was undertaken during January and February 2024, working with 5 young people with dyslexia and visual stress, to explore their journey with a Lili Lamp. We look at how they find reading without a Lili Lamp, with the broader research, and the two in-depth case studies providing you insight into how Lili Lamp can be used in school to support children’s reading. There is a discussion of improvements in attainment for some children and their own recommendations to who may benefit from using the Lili Lamp both at school and at home.
