How does a needs assessment work?
Once you have received a letter from your funding body telling you, that you are eligible for DSA funding, you will need to book a needs assessment. The letter will explain how to do this.
The DSA Needs Assessment is an informal meeting with an experienced Needs Assessor to help to decide the kind of support that will help you with your own particular needs. Your Needs Assessor will write a Needs Assessment Report which will list and justify any recommended Assistive Technology and Specialist Support you will need, how much it will cost, where to get it from, and any Specialist Training you may need to make best use of the Assistive Technology.
