Having progressed successfully through the mainstream education system herself, Emma is only too aware of the many challenges that students face. From assisting with the sometimes complex application process through to providing advice on living away from home, Emma can provide a ‘one stop shop’ for her clients.
The support that Emma provides includes:
- Helping clients to access the right systems
- Guidance on funding streams including the Disability Student Allowance and Independent Living Allowance
