mrs phasmid Report post Posted June 7, 2006 as a child with additional needs your child is entitled to a certain criteria of help, this should include the offer of extra time if needed, a quiet area with no distractions to do exam in, frequent breaks to destress, a scribe if needed, someone to read the questions if needed, someone to encourage them to stay on task and remind them of time elapsed/left and more. you may have to ask/remind them of this and be careful they dont ask your child if they want it or not. they should be guided by you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asereht Report post Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Hi Flutter as you may know, I am over in Dublin ,but my son is doing his state exams in a room on his own with a supervisor/reader that he knows ( school counseller) and it's all being kept as informal as possible to minimise stress. He does them on a laptop and then the supervisor prints it off anything that needs to be wriiten is scribed by her also. It has made things a lot easier for him. Usually on day one everyone has to gather in the main hall for rules and instructions but the school even got him excused from this.I couldn't believe things were going his way for a change and at last feel that he is and his AS is now understood.
