The ADSHE (Association of Dyslexia Specialists in Higher
Education) Website provides guidelines for marking work for dyslexic
students.
Website address: www.adshe.org.uk and then click on Current
Activities for
Guidance for Good Practice: Institutional Marking Practices for
Dyslexic Students
Hope this helps.

Subject: Marking dyslexic students' work
Dear All,
I have been asked for some guidance with regard to
marking work for dyslexic students. Whilst we have a front sheet for
dyslexic students' work asking for tutors not to mark down students for
poor spelling/grammar, tutors have been asking what percentage they
should be allowing for to take account of these difficulties. I suspect
this is a very grey area as it probably is for non-dyslexic students,
some of whom will also have poor spelling and grammar of course.
Does anyone have any advice/guidance or definitive
percentages that they have used?
Any contributions gratefully accepted.
