‘ a reasonable adjustment’ is a change to remove or reduce the effect of a student’s disability so they can demonstrate their true potential. The legislation requires us to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to our services so that disabled students are not placed at a ‘substantial disadvantage’. The University complies with current equality legislation, under which it has a duty not to discriminate against disabled students. We welcome students with all kinds of disabilities and aim to ensure that, as far as possible, appropriate support is offered to meet their needs. IV. Policies for students with a disabilityĪt The University of Nottingham Ningbo, China, we are strongly committed to equality of opportunity for all our students. Therefore, if you have a physical disability (including mobility disability, hearing impairment, visual impairment, and speech impairment), ongoing mental health difficulty, long-term medical condition, autistic spectrum disorder, or a specific learning difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia or ADHD, you would be considered as having a disability. a breathing condition that develops as a result of a lung infection. 'long-term' means likely to last for 12 months or more, e.g. it takes much longer than it usually would to complete a daily task like getting dressed. 'substantial' is more than minor or trivial e.g.
if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.
