Loan and Access of Assistive Devices

loan and acceess

Depending on the type of impairment, students rely on technical aids. Some can be borrowed from the UdS, including from the KSB. If you have a need, please feel free to contact us.

In principle, loans are only available to UdS members. Please contact us for exceptions.

The purchase of the resources was partly funded by the Teaching and Study Fund (LuS). We would like to thank all the committee members for their kind approval of our applications.
