In this session, he's gonna talk about a few things, including how he uses Braille, how other people might use Braille, a bit about Braille technology, what works well and what doesn't, options for transcription, the support that's available and who's responsible for providing that, and specifically things about Disabled Students' Allowance, or DSA.
