If you are a student with a disability, you can access a wide range of resources and support to help you reach your academic goals.

## Learning services for students with specific learning disabilities

[Inclusive Learning](https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/student-support/academic-support/inclusive-learning.html) works with neurodivergent students at University. They can help you if you:

Learning advisors can provide:

- Help with academic skills development tailored to neurodivergent student needs, e.g. workload management and organisation, academic reading and writing, and exam preparation.
- Support for neurodivergent wellbeing by supporting your academic milestones and goals and helping you manage neurodivergent challenges at University.
- Guidence to self-disclose your neurodivergence to help you seek assistance from academic staff.
- Recommendations for assistive technology such as read-aloud (text-to-speech) and voice recognition (speech-to-text) software.

Client Services can provide assistance with:

- Checking the availability of material and retrieving it from library shelves.
- [Borrowing](https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/library/use-our-collections/borrowing.html)  and [renewing](https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/library/use-our-collections/borrowing.html#Renewing-your-items-on-loan) material.
