In reply to your request, figures for OU students at the start of '97 were:
Dyslexia 521
Visually impaired 718
Hearing impaired 592
Mobility impaired (NB we don't differentiate between wheelchair and non-
wheelchair users in our disability categories) 2692
Mental health 686
Medical conditions (not known as not specified as a disbility category)
A high proportion of OU disabled students have more than disability
We started off the year with 5517 disabled students
