My DD has come home from school today saying that her teacher thinks she needs extra time in exams because of something to do with processing information.
I'm going to email the school but it's not something I'm familiar with, can anybody give me any pointers for things to ask them please?

@blackpoolsneighbour

They are talking about access arrangements. Some children need things putting in place so that they can access the exams on a level playing field. Your daughter needs extra time to do the exam because it takes her longer than other children to work out what the question is actually asking her.
