Excellent service

The whole process was very quick and easy. The equipment came in good time. The DSA session was great and supportive and everything put on after the discussion is very useful.

Needs Assessment service and strategies provided review

In general, I think the needs assessment service is good, I had a good appt with the assessor. I received lots of software which I haven’t yet used. I feel like the software is quite complicated to use so need more help with that. Maybe recordings of how to use the software could be provided. I have found the printer very useful. I didn’t find the study skills mentor useful as I already used a lot of the strategies given. I found 1:1 mentoring very useful and it helped me feel a lot better.

DSA

My experience with DSA was positive, I found that they helped me a lot and that if I was stuck or needed assistance then they would be there to help. And due to online learning they also helped with different types of ways to support my needs and my learning.

Needs assessment service

I cannot rate the service I received more highly. I was anxious about the process at the beginning but from the start all of the staff I was in contact with genuinely seemed invested in me as a person rather than just another disability to be assessed. Professional, efficient and, importantly, also kind and empathetic .

It was great

I was really nervous not knowing what to expect at all. But the person on the phone was really nice and explained everything wonderfully. Not only that but the needs assessment and help it could offer was a lot more than i ever expected to get. Definitely the best.

My Remote Needs Assessment

I was nervous to do this assessment but by the end of it I was confident and very happy with what was discussed. I didn’t know much about the DSA and Daniel was very informative and answered all my questions. Overall the assessment has already helped me a lot and I feel more relived with what I have to do in my final year of uni! A big thank you to Daniel.

Highly Recommend

I really recommend this company, from the day talking to them they were so helpful and accommodating, they understood I needed a face 2 face appointment and helped to make that happen. At the assessment, I felt really nervous but Daniel was extremely helpful and really took the time to listen to my family, could have not asked for anything better! The report came quickly as well so I will defo be recommending this organisation!

DSA face to face with Daniel Tue 18 May 21

Thank you Daniel of DSA who assessed my son Harry Goad for his support needs. Daniel mentioned this face to face was unusual as it's mostly been remote assessments. So it was nice to have this experience. As Harry's Mum I liked the way Daniel treated Harry as he is 18 so his conversation was always directed at Harry. Daniel allowed the parents to contribute where we felt it was necessary. Daniel asked important questions in a way Harry understood and put him at ease. Very impressed
