SPS is an aid scheme aimed to ensure that students with mental or physical disabilities are able to complete an educational programme on equal terms with other students.
SPS (special educational support)
The particular offers of aid depend on the disability the student is suffering from, e.g. dyslexics, hearing impairment, visual impairment, physical handicap, or psychological disorder.
You can also apply for:
- A specialist support teacher to help you in developing strategies that will encourage your learning and retainment of academic knowledge.
- A support person to help you with practical matters and planning during your education.

Apply for aid
The first time the student applies for aid, a longer case handling time must be expected as multiple authorities are involved. In general, case handling time is expected to be between 2 weeks and 2 months.
For further information, please contact SPS Counsellor Bettina Hoppe on sps@kea.dk or go to the homepage of the Quality and Supervisory Board of the Ministry of Education (in Danish) spsu.dk

Confidentiality about SPS
There is a lot of personal information linked to applying for SPS, and the information is handled confidentially. This means that at KEA only the SPS supervisor is aware that you are applying for SPS and knows the background for this.
Neither your lecturers nor fellow students will be informed about your circumstances, unless you choose to tell about it yourself. It can also be a good idea if the knowledge of your challenges will make it easier for those you associate with to help meet your needs - for example if you need to sit in a certain place in the classroom or there are activities you do not have the opportunity to participate in.
