Would love to - unfortuantly, my experience has not been a good one
and I wouldn't recommend anyone with a visual impairment to even
attempt a degree or post grad studies until a point in time when books
can be scanned in ahead of the start of a academic year, so that a
person with a sight impairment can start at the same point as everyone
else! Also support workers ought to be just that a 'support' not an
extra burden and they need to be reliable and capable of doing the job
for which they were employed.
kind regards
