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
