I am currently trying to negotiate the use of standard English dictionaries during medical exams for people who are Dyslexic, as I think that sometimes students can get bogged down or completely confuse words that are not relevant to their knowledge of the subject.
This language is something that is covered in one-to-one support, but it is impossible to anticipate all the words that students may find problematic in this situtation.
This adjustment already exists here for students who are non-native speakers of English.
Do people think this is a reasonable request ?
Are there any other institions that have this practice?
I would apprecaite feedback.
