Special needs

As students and applicants at Charles University, you can access support for studying with special needs.


Each year, over 1200 students at CU are registered as students with special needs. You are not alone in this!


Special needs include:

  • Visual impairment

  • Hearing impairment

  • Physical disability

  • Special learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or ADHD

  • Autism spectrum disorder

  • Other difficulties, such as mental health issues, communication disorders, or chronic somatic diseases


To access modifications to your studies and support services, you must go through an interview with a professional, called a diagnostic interview.
