Like any condition what support a student may require very much depends
on how it adversly impacts on their studies, if at all. Haemophilia
results in the blood not clotting so cuts and bruses can bleed a lot.
If the person concerned is only affected in this way when injured then
basic health and safety and vigilence, that he/she is doubtless very
familiar with, would probably suffice. However, some haemophiliacs
(severe cases) can get internal bleeding, often around joints, which
will be very painful and debilitiating. How frequent the occurancc of
such for the individual, how it affects mobility and manual dexterity
and would have to be assessed. Good medical evidence would help.

Hi
Didn't know if anyone has had any experience with students with
haemophilia as we have a student starting in September with the
condition and were wandering if anyone knew what entitlements he may get
through DSA i.e a bed, a computer etc
Any information you can offer would be a great help
Thankyou for your time
