This is an issue we are currently dealing with at Queens. I have been
working with two teachers from BATOD (British Association of Teachers for
the Deaf), they have been so helpful and have actually carried out the
modification of the exam papers for one of my deaf students. You should try
the BATOD website and find a local contact www.batod.org.uk
Hope this is of some use

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone out there has guidance on Language Modification of
exam papers for deaf/dyslexic students, that they wouldn't mind sending to
me, before I start trying to re-invent the wheel in putting some
together...
Thanks in anticipation,
