All education institutions (schools, universities, etc.) are inclusive places that are equally welcoming to disabled and non-disabled students
Most institutions have wheelchair-friendly routes around their buildings
You may qualify for extra time during examinations and support for classes.
Many lecture theatres and classrooms will have audio induction loop systems, so it’s worth asking if these facilities are available.
Your university or college may also be able to arrange regular meetings with a disability adviser, or even a local doctor if needed.
There are a number of UK scholarships and financial support schemes for international students with disabilities and special educational needs.
Disabled Students' Allowance ( DSA ) is support to cover the study-related costs you have because of a mental health problem, long term illness or any other disability.
Awareness on Special Needs/Disabled People
Allow for children to ask questions because this will help to spread awareness of disability and help them to understand.
When you describe a person who is disabled, it is important to put the person first. Instead of saying “the blind kid,” say “the kid who is blind.” That shows that the person is more than their disabilities

He has the privilege of having extra 30 minutes time for important exams such as PT3 and SPM
He gets distracted very easily
Less mature for his age
Has a rigid mindset
Creates his own mathematical formulas when solving mathematical questions
Very good at drawing and spends most of his time drawing anime
An unbothered and expressionless person when scolded or given advice
He has the Malaysian Disability Card and enjoys benefits such as discounted prices
