Support Center For Students With Learning Disorders & Special Needs
Learning Support
The Bezalel support center assists students diagnosed as suffering from learning disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD = Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). In addition to individual assistance in accordance with the specific needs of each student, the center provides assistance in the following areas:
1. "Learning Disorders and Creativity": a full-year course offering a supportive environment for students with learning disorders. The course responds to the students' requests and needs and helps them cope with problems regarding the other subjects they study at Bezalel.
2. Personal coaching (Perach LeSheM): students requiring personal assistance should contact the support center coordinator, Mrs. Tamar Levi-Arman, by telephone 02-5893289 or E-Mail: tamara@bezalel.ac.il during the summer vacation.
3. Assistance in English – study groups adapted to students with learning disorders where lessons are conducted in English.
4. Examination adjustments – such adjustments are based upon the recommendations of the diagnosis and the specific requirements of the academic curriculum at Bezalel.
Students submitting the diagnosis will automatically be entitled to extended time for written examinations and their spelling errors will be ignored (for the curriculum of the History and Theory department).
Students who require any other adjustments should submit their requests to the Student Deanship 30 days prior to the examination dates and submission deadlines.
5. Summer preparatory course – the preparatory course will take place during the month of August. For details, contact the support center coordinator, Mrs. Tamar Levi-Arman, by telephone 02-5893289 or E-Mail: tamara@bezalel.ac.il during the summer vacation.
6. The support center provides individual assistance and counseling to students with learning disorders throughout the academic year.
Students wishing to obtain assistance from the support center and take part in the course providing a supportive environment for students with learning disorders are requested to submit a copy of their current diagnosis (as diagnosed within the last five years) to the Student Deanship during the summer vacation.
