S\u2019\u00e9loigner de la maison, se faire de nouveaux amis, choisir une sp\u00e9cialisation et \u00e9quilibrer sa vie sociale, ses relations et sa vie scolaire peuvent \u00eatre des d\u00e9fis pour n\u2019importe qui. Ajouter une maladie chronique \u00e0 ce m\u00e9lange peut sembler \u00eatre un exercice impossible, mais rassurez-vous, les jeunes adultes atteints de SpA de partout au Canada ont surv\u00e9cu et prosp\u00e9r\u00e9 tout au long de leur s\u00e9jour dans des \u00e9tablissements postsecondaires. Il est possible de r\u00e9ussir avec une bonne planification.<\/p>\n

Vous trouverez ci-dessous des conseils pour vous aider \u00e0 naviguer dans vos \u00e9tudes postsecondaires tout en vivant avec la SpA.<\/p>\n

Inscrivez-vous aupr\u00e8s du bureau des services d\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 ou d\u2019invalidit\u00e9 de votre institution<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Cela peut \u00eatre ardu et intimidant \u00e0 faire, mais pourrait att\u00e9nuer de beaucoup le stress dans votre vie. Le bureau de chaque \u00e9cole est diff\u00e9rent, mais vous pouvez g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement vous inscrire pour des accommodements pour les examens, les devoirs, les pr\u00e9sences et plus encore.<\/p>\n
En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, vous inscrire au bureau signifie que vous avez des \u00ab\u00a0accommodements approuv\u00e9s \u00bb et que vous n\u2019\u00eates donc pas oblig\u00e9 de toujours r\u00e9p\u00e9ter et de vous justifier aupr\u00e8s de chaque professeur que vous rencontrez. Cependant, de nombreux \u00e9tudiants ont eu des exp\u00e9riences tr\u00e8s positives en divulguant leur maladie directement aux professeurs, cela d\u00e9pend de votre niveau de confort.<\/p>\n
Si vous venez de recevoir votre diagnostic ou que vous commencez vos \u00e9tudes postsecondaires, vous ne savez peut-\u00eatre pas quelles adaptations vous sera utiles, mais les conseillers du bureau d\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 devraient \u00eatre en mesure de vous guider. Dans certains cas, les conseillers en adaptation peuvent demander des documents m\u00e9dicaux (c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire une lettre de votre m\u00e9decin ou rhumatologue) pour confirmer votre \u00e9tat de sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Il est recommand\u00e9 de vous inscrire au bureau des accommodements d\u00e8s que vous recevez votre diagnostic. M\u00eame si vous n\u2019en avez pas besoin tout de suite, vous en serez reconnaissant plus tard. Vous ne voudriez pas \u00eatre au milieu d\u2019une pouss\u00e9e pendant les examens finaux sans aucun accommodement disponible.<\/p>\n

N\u2019oubliez pas que demander de l\u2019aide, ce n\u2019est PAS abandonner. Demander de l\u2019aide vous permettra d\u2019optimiser votre environnement acad\u00e9mique pour vous permettre de r\u00e9ussir. Voici quelques accommodements possibles que vous pourriez envisager :<\/p>\n
<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
La flexibilit\u00e9 du temps allou\u00e9 pour les examens. Du temps suppl\u00e9mentaire ou du \u00ab temps chronom\u00e9tr\u00e9 \u00bb peut \u00eatre offert aux \u00e9l\u00e8ves. Le chronom\u00e8tre vous permet de suspendre votre examen pour faire des arr\u00eats au besoin, ce qui peut \u00eatre utile si vous devez fr\u00e9quemment faire des pauses d\u2019\u00e9tirement.<\/li>\n
La possibilit\u00e9 de r\u00e9diger des examens sur votre ordinateur (pour les questions \u00e0 r\u00e9ponses courtes et \u00e0 r\u00e9ponses longues). Cela peut \u00eatre b\u00e9n\u00e9fique si vous ressentez des douleurs aux mains ou aux poignets.<\/li>\n
Une chaise et \/ ou un bureau ergonomiques pour les examens et les \u00e9valuations ainsi qu\u2019en classe. La plupart des bureaux d\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 auront des salles sp\u00e9ciales pour la r\u00e9daction d\u2019examens o\u00f9 vous pourrez demander une option plus confortable en fonction de vos sympt\u00f4mes. Certaines salles de classe peuvent avoir des chaises adapt\u00e9es r\u00e9serv\u00e9es aux \u00e9l\u00e8ves qui en ont besoin. Si les salles de classe ne sont pas d\u00e9j\u00e0 am\u00e9nag\u00e9es pour vous, le bureau d\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 peut souvent apporter l\u2019\u00e9quipement requis dans la salle de classe les jours de vos cours.<\/li>\n
Une extension pour les travaux. Vivre avec une maladie chronique implique souvent d\u2019innombrables rendez-vous avec des professionnels de la sant\u00e9, ce qui peut prendre beaucoup de temps. De plus, la fatigue est souvent un sympt\u00f4me de la SpA. Tout cela combin\u00e9 signifie qu\u2019il peut \u00eatre difficile de respecter les dates d\u2019\u00e9ch\u00e9ance.<\/li>\n
Une flexibilit\u00e9 dans l\u2019assiduit\u00e9. Certains cours peuvent exiger une pr\u00e9sence obligatoire, ce qui peut \u00eatre difficile s\u2019ils interf\u00e8rent avec vos rendez-vous chez le m\u00e9decin, des jours de pouss\u00e9e ou de fatigue extr\u00eame lorsque l\u2019on va \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole et que s\u2019asseoir dans un cours magistral semble impossible. Le bureau d\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 peut g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement vous aider \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un plan vous permettant de parvenir \u00e0 une entente avec vos professeurs.<\/li>\n
L\u2019acc\u00e8s aux notes de cours. Cela peut \u00eatre utile si vous manquez beaucoup de temps en classe ou si vous ne pouvez pas prendre de notes pendant le cours. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, c\u2019est un autre \u00e9l\u00e8ve de la classe qui prend les notes et tout se fait de mani\u00e8re anonyme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.19.4″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n
Envisagez de prendre une charge de cours r\u00e9duite<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Mettre la priorit\u00e9 sur votre sant\u00e9 et votre bien-\u00eatre est plus important que de terminer votre dipl\u00f4me \u00ab \u00e0 temps \u00bb. Bien r\u00e9ussir dans trois cours est mieux que de souffrir dans cinq cours. Certaines \u00e9coles consid\u00e8rent des charges de cours plus l\u00e9g\u00e8res comme un temps plein pour les \u00e9tudiants handicap\u00e9s, cela vous permet quand m\u00eame de vous qualifier pour le financement et les autres choses qui n\u00e9cessitent un statut \u00e0 temps plein.<\/p>\n

Le bureau d\u2019aide aux \u00e9tudiants de votre \u00e9tablissement peut offrir des bourses aux \u00e9tudiants handicap\u00e9s et vous pourriez \u00e9galement \u00eatre admissible \u00e0 une aide financi\u00e8re suppl\u00e9mentaire de votre province.<\/p>\n
Cr\u00e9ez des listes de t\u00e2ches prioritaires<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Nous savons tous que vivre avec une maladie chronique est essentiellement un travail \u00e0 temps plein, il peut donc parfois \u00eatre difficile de concilier les \u00e9tudes avec cela. Chaque jour, r\u00e9digez une liste (r\u00e9aliste) de ce que vous devez faire, \u00e0 la fois pour vos \u00e9tudes et pour vous-m\u00eame \/ votre sant\u00e9, puis priorisez ce qui est le plus important. Pour plus de conseils sur la gestion de temps, consultez cet article (link other post).<\/p>\n
Arr\u00eatez de vous sentir coupable<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Nous savons tous qu\u2019une personne qui \u00e9tudie sans arr\u00eat peut vous faire sentir incomp\u00e9tent quand elle vous dit qu\u2019elle a d\u00e9j\u00e0 lu tout le manuel et qu\u2019elle est pr\u00eate pour l\u2019examen. Ne laissez pas cette personne vous atteindre. Si vous avez besoin d\u2019arr\u00eater d\u2019\u00e9tudier parce que la fatigue vous envahit, ou si vous devez vous promener pour garder vos articulations mobiles, FAITES-LE! Vous remarquerez que vous serez plus productif acad\u00e9miquement lorsque votre corps et votre esprit se sentiront bien.<\/p>\n
Il est \u00e9galement important d\u2019arr\u00eater de vous comparer aux autres. Oui, c\u2019est un clich\u00e9 mais c\u2019est tellement important. N\u2019oubliez pas que chaque personne est sur son propre chemin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fixez des limites dans votre vie sociale<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Il peut \u00eatre si facile dans les \u00e9tablissements postsecondaires de se laisser emporter par une vie sociale trop remplie, avec des \u00e9v\u00e9nements qui se d\u00e9roulent presque tous les soirs. Bien que cela puisse sembler amusant, il est important de toujours donner la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 votre sant\u00e9 et \u00e0 votre corps lorsqu\u2019il s\u2019agit de socialiser. Connaissez vos limites, dormez suffisamment, planifiez \u00e0 l\u2019avance et communiquez clairement ces limites \u00e0 votre entourage.<\/p>\n

Navigating post-secondary education in itself can be challenging.<\/p>
Moving away from home, making new friends, declaring a major and balancing your social life, relationships and school life can be challenging\u00a0 for anyone. Adding chronic illness to this mix may seem like an impossible balancing act, but rest assured, young adults with SpA from all across Canada have been surviving and thriving throughout their time at post-secondary institutions. It is possible to be successful with good planning.<\/p>
Below are tips to help you navigate post-secondary education while living with SpA.<\/p>
Register with your School\u2019s Accessibility or Disability Service Office\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>
It can be daunting and intimidating to do this, but it can alleviate so much stress from your life. Every school\u2019s office will be different but usually you can register for accommodations for exams, assignments, attendance and more.<\/p>
In general, registering with the office means that you have \u201capproved accommodations\u201d and therefore you are not required to repeat and justify yourself to every professor you meet. However, many students have had very positive experiences disclosing directly to professors, it depends on your level of comfort.<\/p>
If you are newly diagnosed or new to post-secondary education, you may not even know what accommodations you need but the advisors from the accommodation\u2019s office should be able to guide you through it. In some cases, accommodation advisors may ask for medical documentation (i.e. a letter from your doctor or rheumatologist) to verify your condition.<\/p>
It\u2019s recommended to register for your accommodations as soon as you are diagnosed. Even if you don\u2019t end up needing all of them right away, you\u2019ll thank yourself later. The last thing you want is to be in the middle of a flare during finals season without any available accommodations.<\/p>

Remember that asking for help is NOT giving up. Asking for help will allow you to optimize your academic environment to allow you to succeed. Below are some possible accommodations you may want to consider:\u00a0<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
Time accommodation for exams. Extra time or \u201cstop-watch time\u201d may be allotted to students. Stop-watch time allows you to pause your exam and take breaks as needed, which may be useful if you frequently need to take stretch breaks.\u00a0<\/li>
Ability to write exams on your computer (for short answer and long answer questions). This can be beneficial if you experience pain in your hands or wrists.\u00a0<\/li>
Ergonomic chair and\/or desk for exams and assessments as well as in the classroom. Most accessibility offices will have special rooms for writing exams where you can request a more comfortable option depending on your symptoms. Some classrooms may have reserved accessible chairs for students who need them. If the classrooms aren\u2019t already set up for you, the accessibility office can often bring the required equipment into the classroom on the days of your courses.\u00a0<\/li>
Extensions for assignments. Living with a chronic illness often includes countless appointments with healthcare professionals which can take up a lot of your time. Additionally, fatigue is often a symptom of SpA. All of this combined means that it can be difficult to keep up with due dates.\u00a0<\/li>
Flexibility with attendance. Some courses may require mandatory attendance which can be difficult if they interfere with doctors appointments, flare days or extreme fatigue when going to school and sitting in a lecture feels impossible. The accessibility office can usually help you design a plan that allows you to come to an agreement with your professors.\u00a0<\/li>
Access to lectures notes. This can be useful if you are missing a lot of class time or if you cannot take notes during class. Typically, it is another student in the class who takes the notes and it is all done anonymously.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.17.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>
Consider Taking a Reduced Course Load<\/h3>
Prioritizing your health and well-being is more important than finishing your degree \u201con-time.\u201d Doing well in 3 courses is better than suffering in 5. Some schools consider lighter course loads as full-time for students with disabilities which still allows you to qualify for funding and other things that require full-time status.<\/p>
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.17.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>
Look into Financial Aid Opportunities for Students with Disabilities<\/h3>

Make Prioritized To-Do Lists\u00a0<\/h3>
We all know that living with chronic illness is basically a full-time job so it can sometimes be difficult to balance academics with this. Every day, write a (realistic) list of what you need to do, both for your academics and for yourself\/your health and then prioritize what is most important.<\/p>
Stop Feeling Guilty\u00a0<\/h3>
We all know that one person who is studying 24\/7 and can make you feel bad when they tell you they\u2019ve already read the entire textbook and are ready for the exam. Don\u2019t let that person get to you. If you need to stop studying because fatigue is taking over you, or you need to go for a walk to keep your joints mobile \u2014 DO IT! You will notice that you will be more productive academically when your body and mind feel good.<\/p>
It\u2019s also important to stop comparing yourself to others. Yes this is clich\u00e9 but it\u2019s so important. Remember that everyone is on their own journey.<\/p>
Set Boundaries in Your Social Life\u00a0<\/h3>

It can be so easy in post-secondary institutions to get caught up in a busy social life with events happening almost every night. While this may sound fun, it\u2019s always important to prioritize your health and your body when it comes to socializing. Know your limits, get enough sleep, plan ahead and clearly communicate these boundaries with those around you.\u00a0<\/p>
