Dd1, 18, year 12. She has recently been diagnosed with narcolepsy. Apart from the falling asleep, she has 'missing moments', quite common with narcolepsy, she looks like she's awake but in fact her brain is asleep. The school have seen the diagnosis. All staff have been asked to do notes and bullet points to assist in lessons, which is fine, but sometimes, particularly at A level, discussions on a topic meander and more stuff is learnt by discussion and absorbing what's been said, etc. Learning by osmosis! Anyway, point is, we have given dd a dictaphone to record lessons. We thought this would be fine, discussed briefly with the head of sixth form who said it was up to the individual teachers. Ok, we thought, can't see how anyone could disagree, but a couple of them are. Does anybody know if we can legally force this issue? It really does mean she may miss out on extra information, and I'm not sure that bullet points are really enough to allow for their interpretaion of necessary adjustments for Disabled Pupils.
