Disability support funding at Murray Edward’s
Dear Murray Edwards College, Cambridge,
1. I would like to know whether Murray Edwards college contributes any funding towards diagnoses of ADHD and autism carried out by Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre (ADRC) at Cambridge, for students belonging to the college.
2. If the answer to the above question is yes, I would like to know the percentage or amount of funding that is contributed towards the diagnoses and if a student needs to meet any criteria (please specify the criteria) in order to be eligible for the funding.
3. I would like to know whether the college funds any alternative support for autism, ADHD or other learning difficulties, through routes other than the ADRC. For example, private diagnoses or online mental health services.
Yours faithfully,
Esther Knowles
