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.

 

 

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.
