Studying with Dyspraxia (Bloomsbury Study Skills)

Full of practical guidance, Studying with Dyspraxia helps readers to understand what to expect at university and gives support in adjusting to a more independent lifestyle. Crucially, it helps students to implement study strategies that really work. This book gives students the knowledge, tools and confidence to thrive at university. Students will gain a more in-depth understanding of what reasonable adjustments could be available to them, and how they can benefit from them. They will also learn how to articulate their needs to university professionals and teaching staff. A core objective of the book is to help students become effective self-advocates: people who effectively communicate their needs and make decisions based on their needs and interests. In addition, the book contains valuable guidance on how to avoid low motor pain when studying. The text ends with a chapter on life after university, which is designed to encourage readers to think about their options and to reflect on their challenges and successes. It also gives advice on applying for jobs. This valuable resource will encourage readers to make choices in their personal and professional lives that positively affect their experiences at university.
