Hi Heather,
 
I realize that this information is from across the "pond" but it may shed light on accommodations that have been made in the US.
 
You can read Tino Plank's story on page 18 of this progress report from Johnson & Johnson.

I also sent you a copy of "The Gift of ADD" written by a nurse with ADD.
 
Cheers,
Donna

Dear All

We have a 2nd year nursing student who is dyslexic and has asked about
reasonable adjustments to her forthcoming OSCE.  The student is particularly
keen to have extra time and any other reasonable adjustment.

I am aware that competency standards cannot be altered.  I am discussing
reasonable adjustments with Nursing and I have asked about competencies for
the OSCE. I have been told that extra time does not seem reasonable as part
of the OSCE is about time.

I am keen to know what other institutions have done in this instance for
example what type of reasonable adjustments have been implemented. 

Thanks.
Heather
