Dear Liz,
A few years ago we had a deaf student who because she wasn't diagnosed
very early fell behind in her schooling. She had some ongoing difficulties
with language. Because of all this her tutor advised that she take up an
option available in her particular subject to do a two year instead of one
year part II of the Tripos - which brought her total course length to four
years. The LEA agreed to fund the extra year because of the effects of
her disability on her education.
