Study assistance is a key service that helps students with special needs achieve success during their studies at Charles University and makes it easier for them to integrate into the academic environment. It is based on inter-student assistance where the role of assistant is usually taken by students of the university. Remuneration in the form of a scholarship is provided to them for their activities. However, this is not the only benefit. You can read about the experiences of one assistant here.

The services provided include taking lecture notes, acquiring study materials, loading texts, providing escort, general assistance during study and direct study support in specific situations. The actual content of the assistance is based on the recommendations in the functional diagnostics assessment and the standards of support of students with special needs as defined in in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports Guidelines.

Assistance is administered by Carolina Centre. The coordinator of the service is Veronika Kubíková.
