I am pretty sure that academics cope with
statements of the need because of disability by forgetting all about them,
unless they happen to know the student usually well.
I therefore think that some kind of
reminder slip is essential.

Subject: Reminder Slips for
dyslexic thinkers
Hi All,
In our team meeting we were
discussing our Dyslexia reminder slips. We give these to all our Dyslexic
thinkers in order to remind the marker, of the students particular
difficulties. These would include, Organisation of thought, spelling,
reading, hand Writing, Processing speed and so on.
Our system is due for review as it has
been in place for some time. Does anyone else use a similar system, or
any other kind of system which has been proven to be more effective? Or
do you not feel it is important to remind markers, and expect them to check
with information given to schools once the student has had a Needs Assessment?
I would welcome you comments.
