Re C Financial facilities<br />

When the student or the department suspects that the student has dyslexia and the student is<br />

inconvenienced by it in his or her education, then the student can undergo a dyslexia examination. <strong>The</strong><br />

Disability & Study contact person/student counsellor will arrange the application for an allowance for this<br />

examination. This allowance will be 400 euros at most.<br />

When a student incurs a study delay or is forced to break off his studies due to his or her functional<br />

restriction, there are various financial schemes possible, e.g. 12 additional months of student loans and<br />

grants. <strong>The</strong> student counsellor will discuss which scheme applies to the student‟s situation and assists in<br />

the application.<br />

4.7 Studying and RSI (CANS)<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are students who suffer from pain in the arm, neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. Initially, they often<br />

think that it will go away. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. <strong>The</strong> pain referred to here could be<br />

an indication of RSI: Repetitive Strain Injury,also known as “mouse arm”. If the initial symptoms are not<br />

taken seriously, the problems will usually gradually get worse. According to a number of involved<br />

professional groups, the term RSI has a negative connotation and some practitioners (wrongly) diagnose<br />

RSI. <strong>The</strong>refore, they have agreed to begin using the new term, CANS (complaints of Arm, Neck and/or<br />

Shoulder).<br />

RSI is difficult to diagnose, because the pain can have multiple causes. Because CANS is still a fairly<br />

recent term, we will continue to talk about RSI in this section, for clarity‟s sake. In the case of RSI, there<br />

is a clear relationship between the manner in which you work and the symptoms.<br />

Factors that can lead to RSI are:<br />

wrong posture when seated during work<br />

repetitive work<br />

too little variation in posture as well as work<br />

stress<br />
