Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the results of a staff survey on accessibility barriers to participation
and success for disabled students in higher education in the UK and Ireland. We focus on
the range and complexity of student difficulties encountered by staff involved either in the
lecturing of mathematics or the provision of Mathematics Learning Support. We report on
the range of supports available to both staff and students in these situations and their varying
levels of awareness and implementation of these supports. We close with a brief overview of how
we intend to use the results of this survey to both increase awareness of existing appropriate
supports and develop additional services to improve student accessibility.
