when students use PCs in exams, because of dyslexia, do you disable
the spell check facility, or leave it enabled? Similarly, for allowing
use of hand-held spellcheckers (e.g. Franklins) by dyslexic students
in exams.
if we allow it, we are accused of disadvantaging students who are
poor spellers but not dyslexic; if not, we can also be
accused.... of discriminating against dyslexic students!
opinions, asap please .
