This was my original Disability Service Access Plan. Although I was still expected to complete the same level of work as others it made it easier to gain extensions where required which would be for most of my work later each semester. It also made me eligible for other assistance. They actually had a refurbished computer program the year I started where they provided students with disabilities with old computers. Although, I'd already invested my Centrelink advanced payment on a laptop having a desktop computer set up next to it was of great assistance in being able to research on one computer whilst typing on another. I was so grateful but was too embarrassed to allow them to take a photo when I picked it up as I didn't know how they would use it & didn't want to be judged or otherwise discriminated against.
