She tells us how she went from leaving mainstream school with no qualifications to her name, to graduating with a BSc in Psychology.
In my late twenties, as my mental health improved, I started to look at areas of my life I was unhappy with and kept coming back to education. By now I’d also been diagnosed with dyslexia, Autism and social anxiety and had found small ways to make the words on a page “behave”. I knew I was smarter than people thought, and I had more to offer the world. I spent two years building up the courage to get back into education and re-take my GCSEs.
Then I saw an advert for the Open University. The idea of distance learning had never occurred to me before. But after signing up, I informed them I had additional needs and both the OU staff and the tutors couldn’t have been more supportive. The tutors made regular contact and I was constantly directed to areas of extra support. While I didn’t use them, they also have grants and specialist equipment available for students with additional needs. Tutorials are done online .
