This page describes how Haaga-Helia supports students with learning difficulties or permanent or long-term health challenges that affect their studies.
Have you noticed that, for example, reading, writing, concentrating or starting something feels challenging? Have you been diagnosed with a learning disability? Do you have a permanent or long-term health challenge that affects your studies?
In these situations, contact a special needs teacher to find out if we can help you. We are here for you!
Four special education teachers work on Haaga-Helia campuses and remotely. We offer guidance for learning difficulties, as well as permanent and long-term health challenges. We also give you tips on tools and techniques that make learning easier - and on finding your own strengths.
If you suspect that you may have a learning disability, you can take learning difficulty tests through us (e.g. a dyslexia test). You can turn to us at any stage of your studies. Sometimes learning difficulties only get noticed during the thesis phase. It's never too late to visit us!
