Equity and access services

Empowering ability and success

Manukau Institute of Technology is committed to delivering equitable, inclusive and accessible outcomes for disabled ākonga through the delivery and integration of its
National Strategic Disability Action Plan (DAP) which was endorsed by Te Pūkenga Council in April 2022.

All students with disabilities/impairments are encouraged to contact Disability Support for further information before commencing study. This is to ensure a wraparound of your support needs are in place as required.

Bring with you supporting documentation about your impairment and any information you have about your course including your timetable (if you already have this).

Please be aware we do not provide in class or workshop teacher aide type of support and the above services are an indication only. Specific supports will be discussed at initial meeting with disability staff.

  • New Zealand Sign Language Interpreters
