⚙️ Learning With a Disability or Special Need

3 min. readlast update: 04.17.2025

 

At Knowledge Circle, we are committed to making second-language training inclusive, respectful, and accessible to all. If you have a disability, learning difference, or any specific support need — we are here to help you succeed.


💬 You Are Not Alone

We could support learners with:

  • Dyslexia or reading/writing challenges

  • ADHD, anxiety, or other mental health conditions

  • Hearing or visual impairments

  • Cognitive fatigue, memory overload, or executive functioning difficulties

  • Neurodiverse or physical conditions

  • Other specific accessibility needs (see below)

Our approach is learner-centered, non-judgmental, and entirely confidential.


🧩 How to Request Accommodations

To help us tailor your training:

You don’t need to provide medical documentation — just let us know what type of support helps you learn best.


🛠️ Examples of Accommodations We Offer

We work with you and your instructor to adapt your training. Examples include:

🧠 Learning Support:
  • Slower pace with structured reinforcement

  • More frequent repetition and visual grammar cues

  • First language use for clarification (only when necessary)

🔈 For Learners with Hearing Impairments:
  • Enabling live captions in MS Teams

  • Written summaries and follow-up messages

  • Clear pacing and articulation by the instructor

  • (Where permitted) Recording short segments of class

👀 For Learners with Visual or Display Needs:
  • Larger font sizes (12–14 pt or more)

  • High-contrast or simplified materials

  • Descriptive navigation during screen sharing

  • Editable documents for customized viewing

💡 Other Options:
  • Short breaks in longer sessions

  • Scheduling around fatigue or concentration windows

  • Low-pressure strategies to build confidence


❗Important to Know

While we are committed to adapting and supporting each learner as much as possible, accommodations:

  • Must first be assessed and discussed with our team

  • Depend on the availability of resources and instructors

  • May take time to implement depending on the nature of the request

We will always do our best — but we kindly ask that you inform us of your needs as early as possible, so we can evaluate feasibility and plan accordingly.


📘 A Personalized Learning Experience

You deserve a training experience that supports your learning style. Once your needs are shared and understood, we will:

  • Brief your instructor (with your consent)

  • Adjust the pace, format, and delivery to help you stay motivated and confident

  • Support you throughout your learning journey with patience and encouragement


✅ Confidential, Respectful, and Without Impact

  • Accommodations will not affect your evaluation or training progress

  • All information will remain confidential and handled professionally

  • Your request will be viewed as a positive step toward meaningful progress

We are proud to serve learners with diverse needs — and we are here to support your success, every step of the way.
