I think it's great that you are trying! It is the only way to know if you have a limit, and if you encounter it, I trust you can get help from your ADA at the university.
Some of my students did the following:
1. Record the lectures
2. Had note takers (other students or a representative)
3. Would ask me to review their summaries of key points from lectures
4. For exams, had extra time to take exams
5. Did oral vs. written exams (or vice-versa)
6. Would correct exam mistakes for extra credit
7. For papers, would get extra coaching regarding thesis development
8. For papers, would work with editors / writing counselors
9. Would do papers instead of exams
Best of luck!
