Sight Loss Services Feedback
Education - Masters
“I would like to thank you for all your support throughout my Masters. Without the notetaking and reader support, I wouldn't be where I am now. I know that from a 2-year part time Masters, it became 5 but we had a pandemic to go through where no one knew at the beginning what to do even in terms of support but despite all this we got there in the end. I hope that it isn't goodbye.”

“I found with the support that I received from the staff at ASSIST was very focused on my needs. I find the staff to be very helpful and encouraging and this made me feel very relaxed with the support that I was receiving. It is important that the support worker listens to the student and understands their individual needs. I found this to be the case with ASSIST as their support workers are trained to assist the student for their individual needs and this is what enabled me to do so well with my post graduate course and gain outstanding results."
