[QUOTE="Redshank, post: 1983457, member: 325494"] Hopefully I can now post a link NO I CAN NOT so I think you will have to google I am trying to direct you to jcq.org access-arrangements-and-reasonable-adjustments-booklet (I have tried putting both of those into google and it found the booklet I am referring to) All secondary schools should have this document In the document early on there is a statement outlining what the Senco must do Section B looks at the area we are interested in. Page 21 has details of "supervised rest breaks" - these can be much more useful, and are more flexible than additional time. Section 5.1.2 says [I]"There is no maximum time set for supervised rest breaks. The decision must be made by the SENCo based on their knowledge of the candidate’s needs and the candidate’s normal way of working when placed under timed conditions." [/I] The Senco would need evidence to show why the candidate might need these breaks, so any evidence you can provide would be helpful. Section 5.2 Discusses Additional Time. Although this sounds more appealing, it may not be as useful in the circumstances you describe as there is much less flexibility. Again the Senco would need to provide evidence of why it was needed The third thing to think about is "Special Consideration Special Consideration is a post examination adjustment to a candidate's mark or grade to reflect temporary injury, illness or other indisposition at the time of the examination/assessment." The Senco is key in any of the decisions made. I would recommend that you arrange to met the Senco and talk through why you think some of these things are required by your child, and talk about what evidence is required to support the Senco in applying for these.
