Geography and colour blind ds

Had a call from school today as ds had problems with a coloured graph in his exam today. The well being coordinator said he may be allowed extra time, but we need to provide proof which I don't have! Anyone have experience of this?

You can download an app for a quick colour blindness test

Its a bit surprising, with colour blindness being quite common in boys that they don't use hatching rather than colours - or at least, avoid the combinations which are indistinguishable.

Don't they still do colour blindness tests at school? Maybe opticians do it?

Speak to the exams officer at school and ask what proof they need. Worth doing I would think.
