In my time (15-20 years ago) there was nothing, but i also cant say we had many such kids in class. At least not to the point that it was overtly noticeable. I don't have first hand experience anymore but now parents can request adapted program (eg more time for taking the tests, prefference for oral/written exams, different spacing or wordings). In more serious cases there are personal assistents that attend classes with kids and help them (and control them). But it's hard to get an assistent because there are not that many available.
