Hi Peter,

remembering the correct sequence is a 'must do' assessment criterion).
This would seem the simplest solution and one the student could have some
degree of control over, it could also be considered a 'reasonable
adjustment' to the assessment procedure could it not? SO long as it was
possible to produce crib sheets for all the functions she needs to remember.
It depends whether they are assessing her skills or her memory really!
Sitting up straight
Chris

Thanks Mick
Now for the next part:
The same student has great difficulty remembering sequences during
practicals (She's an NVQ2 Beauty therapist). I'm tussling with several
issues:
whether to ask lecturers/exam board if can use cue sheets during
assessed practicals (this could prove fruitless - especially if
remembering the correct sequence is a 'must do' assessment criterion).
I'd like to work with the student and her support tutor to develop some
sort of mnemonic strategies to help her through these practicals. When
I asked her to describe one of the tasks she undertakes, she 'went
through the motions' in a virtual (hands-on) fashion. She obviously
remembers more effectively using this sort of 'kinesthetic' role play.
I wonder if anyone has encountered any memory programmes that capitalise
on this.
I may contact some ABI organisations for further advice if necessary.
Regards
Peter Hill
