Quick question, I think I know the answer too already, but I thought I
would double check and yes, I am doing it the lazy way by asking you
good people instead of looking up - ok I will get on with it..
The British Psychological Society (BPS) as an external regulatory body -
the DDA - SENDA extends to their practices too doesn't it?

Subject: Re: Advice needed alternative exam format
One point to bear in mind is the physical stress associated with
"unlimited" time. I had one student once who had very poor keyboard
skills and no speech, she was given two days for an examination. She
strained her wrist and we had to come up with an alternative form for
her, this was primarily special coursework that the academics were sure
did test the same learning outcomes.
