Accommodating SM's Needs:
SM was branded the weakest in her class and was not achieving in her old school.
At our school she was screened to be probably highly dyslexic, she was allocated a support worker to support her with her class work.

Arrangements were made for her to take her exams orally with options to draw, illustrate and or talk through her answers in her own way and if need be, to have a multiple choice questions; extra time was given to accommodate her needs.

And because she was given an additional time, she did not feel pressurised or rushed and was able to answer the questions in a relaxed way.

Her answers were recorded in her own words and for the first time she did as well as any of the other 'bright' children in her class.

She has never passed an exam before; her Father at first could not believe the results but was very happy. SM’s confidence is growing all the time, she is much happier and she is progressing well.
