The report Disabled Students and Higher Education, undertaken by Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills, has shown there has been a significant increase in disabled people attending higher education since 2001.

Key findings:
- 20% of disabled people attain 3 or more A levels than those without disabilities.
- 78% of disabled 17 year olds responded to a questionnaire that they would like to attend university
- There has been an increase in “unseen” and “dyslexia” cases of disabilities reported – accounting for a large fraction of types reported.

The Higher Education Funding Council has bought changes to the funding; now basing the figures on the number of students in receipt of Disabled Students Allowance (DSA).

Educational institutions have to meet the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 (SENDA) to ensure reasonable adjustments are made to support disabled people.

This includes:
- Providing course materials in formats available to all – Braille, Sound and Vision
- Equipping computers with screen-reading, voice recognition or other adaptive software
- Alternative hardware to ensure learning materials are fully accessible to all students

We support the full integration of all students, not feeling disadvantaged in comparison to people who are not disabled.

Keytools offers an extensive range of products available, from mice, BigKeys keyboards, vision impairment software and accessories, to software that assists dyslexic and dyspraxic students.
