Information for lecturers and advisors
Students with a disability or chronic illness have special needs that are specific to their studies but cannot always be recognised and interpreted at first sight and may also differ from individual to individual.
The fact sheets about specific disabilities are intended to provide faculty members and advisors with specialist knowledge and didactic tips for open and sympathetic communication in their dealings with the students concerned, and to contribute towards understanding and improving the situation of students with impairments.
