Maybe to have speech to text software installed on some of the computers for students with reading difficulties 
that really want a chance to do well and produce a well written assignment within the given time period. 
Personally I believe a few more learning resources could be implemented  to enhane the learning  experience 
of students who may have learning difficuties and also lack confidence in using the library effectively.
