Video 1 - Transcription

This is super simple, but just ask. And sometimes that is the hardest thing. Just ask. You have to go find the accommodation center at your school and go talk to them. Also, you need to have, um, if you already have it and you've been properly diagnosed with dyslexia, then obviously they'll need that to give you accommodation. They need proof that you are dyslexic. So if you have, you know, you're pretty confident you have dyslexia, go get tested. So that way you can get the accommodations you need. Because, um, without that, usually you can't get accommodations or else everybody would claim they have something. So you really have to have proof of diagnosis. But other than that, ask for it. Don't be afraid to get what you need so that you can succeed.
