Are there special arrangements for dyslexic students in exams?
Yes. All students have to go through Student Counselling if they wish to receive additional examination time allowance. Student Counselling will produce a list of all approved dyslexic students for the exams office. There is a lot of on-line information on dyslexia. The following links and comments were obtained from the Student Support and Counselling Services: • http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/ – Practical help (including worksheets) with grammar, punctuation and so on. • http://www.as.bham.ac.uk/support/disability/exams.shtml – The University Academic Services’ site for dyslexics. • http://www.dyslexia.com – explores dyslexia as a gift rather than a weakness, a good morale booster. Good links to computer support pages. • http://www.dyslexiaaction.org.uk – the dyslexia institute’s web site. • http://www.bda-dyslexia.org.uk – the British dyslexia association’s web site.
