Confused Suggestions for work arounds and College

I know I need cognitive therapy and unable to get it at moment...It s a mess over here like all of our head injuries!I have to give school a try and pick back up on my Masters program.I have not used cognitive stress with school or work in last 6month's!!!Is my brain going to shut down?I am scared!
~My neuro told me to try and if I fail than we will take it from there~I am only doing one class and have ADA help.

If anyone can help suggest work arounds while trying to do this I greatly appreciate it.
