Forwarded from DIS-HE-POLICY list... can someone point this chap to policy/resources? I suspect you'd best respond directly to him.

The student has dyslexia to a marked degree. The lecturer would like some help in going about this, but I find I have nothing, apart from spontaneous educational instincts, to offer. Can anyone point me to some considered suggestions? Although the query relates to essays, the same question relating to examinations is equally pressing.
