    Your personal statement should outline how your disability impacted your learning. Either through missed time at school due to illness or hospital visits, episodes where you could not properly attend your studies due to your illness or how it impacts your performance in exams.

    There are a list of colleges participating in DARE on the web site link above. Where a college participates in the scheme, generally all courses in that college are available.

    If you check the college web sites under disability access they will let you know what is available, here is TCD site

    The accommodations are good and are tailored to each students needs.
