They help students with learning or physical disabilities, and all have their specialities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student deans give information about the regulations, and they can request study modifications. Also, they give advice on choosing the right study.<\/li>\n<li>Study advisers guide students in choosing courses as well as changing personal study plans.<\/li>\n<li>Student psychologists can help with short term conversational and behavioural therapies, performance anxiety training and interest tests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Adjustments in education and exams for students with a disability<\/h1>\n<p>You might be a bit nervous about engaging in courses or taking exams. But if you talk to a student dean, they can discuss adjustments that fit your needs. There are several changes that are possible that can help you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adjustments in content. For example, by offering equal level alternative course material.<\/li>\n<li>Prolonging the time limit in which you have to complete an assignment.<\/li>\n<li>Altering the study pace if you can\u2019t keep up with the normal pace. Or getting more time for making an exam.<\/li>\n<li>Offering exams on a computer instead of paper.<\/li>\n<li>Providing a quiet space for studying or taking an exam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For all the possible adjustments you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wur.nl\/en\/Education-Programmes\/Current-Students\/Student-Guidance\/Student-Dean\/Studying-with-a-disability-1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read more about studying with a disability at the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>Studying with dyslexia, ADD or ADHD<\/h1>\n<p>Dyslexia, ADD or ADHD are the most common learning disabilities.
