Staff guidance on My Adjustments

My Adjustments (MAs) are LSE’s system of recording the adjustments and support which are deemed necessary to meet the needs of a disabled student. To ensure these needs are met, academic and professional services staff may have to make reasonable adjustments to teaching and administrative processes as identified in a student's MAs. 

The following document has been produced by the Disability and Mental Health Service to provide staff with more information on the process, and guidance on common adjustments and how to implement them:
