If you have dyslexia

Dyslexia is a permanent disability that makes it difficult to handle written language and/or reading, and therefore dyslexia can affect your study activity.

If you have dyslexia, possible challenges may include:

  • Reading and spell slowly and inaccurately.
  • Having difficulty learning and remembering new words and names, such as subject-specific terms or foreign languages.
  • Showing significant differences between written and oral performance.
  • Misunderstanding information and text.
  • Struggling to keep sentences in mind while writing them.
  • Finding it difficult to express complex ideas in writing.

Types of support

As a student with dyslexia, you may be eligible for the following types of SPS support:

  • The software package “IntoWords.” The program can be installed on up to five devices. You can also have your license transferred from a previous education program, provided it is still active.
  • Digital study materials via Nota.
  • One-on-one study support sessions with a reading specialist, focusing on reading and writing strategies, study techniques, organization, and planning.
  • Dyslexia assessment, if you suspect you may have dyslexia.
