Does anyone have a DC with a reader for A levels? DS did for his GCSES, along with 25% extra time, laptop and a scribe for multiple choice and similar things he is unable to visualise clearly, and did very well (IMHO).
However today he is taking his first AS exam and although we had a new Ed Psych report indicating he still has the same requirements, the support for learning dept at school tell me the rules have changed for readers for A levels and its harder than ever to get one, even though his working practice and past results indicate it made a significant difference. Given his subjects are so essay, source related (history, gov & politics, philosophy, economics) getting through all the source material fast enough in an exam is causing him difficulties.
