University assessment of needs, what to expect?

[dekaspace]

I have my assessment of needs Thursday but a bit worried, the local council has already apporved cash just need to know what I need.

 

They did mention a handheld spellchecker and a dictaphone, text to speech software etc.

 

They didnt mention a computer but this would be great for me since my old one is nearing end of its life.

 

Do I have to talk the assessor into things?

 

What I was worried about is that I havent had my aspergers assessment yet just one for dyslexia and dyspraxia so worried this will lower my entitlemnt.

It won't lower your entitlement. What they will do is go through your ed psych report (or whoever diagnosed you) and then make recommendations on what they can help with (at least thats the way mine worked). Text to speech software takes up a lot of resources on a computer so if yours isn't up to it I would mention it as they will make the recommendation of a new computer that can run it.
