Hi Ann,
I was given that webiste address in answer to a smilar query to yours.
I have contacted most of the countries listed on the website, and most
of the responses have said (as it has it on the website) that their
support comes either from social services locally or from each
universitiy and their disability office. This means that there is
little financial support available to students who study abroad, or at
least those who study in Britain as our system is organised in the
opposite way as most other countries in Europe.
It is worth contacting the Grerman HEAG partner though as they may
have useful advice.

Does anyone know if there is a mirror image of this database, so that
if you have a German student at your institution (rather than one of
yours going there) you can see if there is any funding to pay for the
support they need in the UK?

European disability support information
Dear all
Somebody's probably mentioned this before now, but I have just come
across a website which allows you to search for disability support
services in Universities and other Higher Education institutions in
Europe. 17 European countries are represented, and the database can
be
searched in several languages.
The website is: www.european-agency.org/heag/index.html
best wishes
