The terms dyslexia or reading and spelling disorder (LRS) are used to describe an impairment that is characterized by pronounced difficulties in learning to read and/or spell and is not due to below-average intelligence, lack of schooling, mental illness or brain damage.
Dyslexia can still lead to problems in adulthood. If those affected find that they do not feel up to the demands of their studies due to their dyslexia, it is possible to apply for compensation for disadvantages. This is because dyslexia has been confirmed as a disability by case law on examination law. To apply for compensation for disadvantages, students need a certificate of existing dyslexia, which must not be older than 5 years.
The PBS offers a free diagnostic assessment (dyslexia test) for students at universities in the state of Bremen. If required, a certificate can be issued as an attachment to a compensation for disadvantages for submission to the examination office. - You can register for dyslexia diagnostics via the PBS secretariat. This service does not include dyscalculia diagnostics.
Here you can find more information on compensation for disadvantages.
