Hi Rachael Could I suggest that instead of trying to determine particular people and their impairment you focus on the barriers that your services may be causing differing people. There is no "standardised" list of disabilities because people are not standard. The DDA lists those disabilities which it considers fall under the remit of the Act. A better type of survey would be to identify barriers that you think may exist and test if this is the case, such as "is the type face we use large enough and clear enough for you to read? Another thing to consider will be how accessible will you be making your survey? In what alternative formats will you be creating it? How easy will it be to complete? Just some thoughts Marcus -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff.
