The Dyspraxia Foundation can offer information and guidance but for information about what is available locally, search 'SENDIASS' and your county/city. This will give you the contact details for your local Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service. They will have local knowledge and can support you in discussing with the college anything that they could do to make it easier for you when you are there.
